“…Abdominal obesity is a principal risk factor for cardiometabolic disease [6]. Some studies suggest changes in the abdominal deposition of visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) during the MT is related to chronological aging [7], while others find a strong association with reproductive aging [8], suggesting that central adiposity is a result of the changing hormonal milieu [5]. Other data show that both may explain changes in body adiposity and a decrease in lean muscle mass (sarcopenia) during the MT [9].…”

“…The increase of fat among women is expected, and it is more present in postmenopausal individuals. 29 That increases the risk for cardiovascular events, especially in women with central obesity. Metabolic effects on menopausal women can also contribute to the development of atherosclerosis favored by endothelial dysfunction.…”

“…Increased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity is found in the gluteofemoral area, especially in younger women, which supports the female phenotype (Ferrara et al 2002;Boucard et al 1993). A change in lipid metabolism and regional fat distribution as a function of the hormonal status in women has been demonstrated in several studies (Kosková et al 2007;Toth et al 2000;Douchi et al 2007;Pansini et al 2008;Perdersen et al 2004). DiVerences can also be found in the eVects of diet and/or physical training because of diVering metabolic situations, diVerent body fat distribution and sex.…”

Can alternating lower body negative and positive pressure during exercise alter regional body fat distribution or skin appearance?

The purpose of this study was to determine whether physical activity, with and without lower body pressure, leads to increased regional fat loss in the lower extremities of overweight females. Eighty-six obese women with a female phenotype were randomly assigned into four groups: control group (C), diet only (D), diet plus exercise (DE) or diet, exercise and lower body pressure intervention (DEP). The three treatment groups followed the same diet, the two exercise groups (DE and DEP) additionally followed an endurance training program of 30 min of cycling at 50%VO(2)max three times per week with or without lower body pressure. Body composition and fat distribution were assessed by DXA. Body size circumference measurements were recorded as well as subjective ratings of cellulite and skin appearance. As expected, all test groups (D, DE, DEP) showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in total body mass and fat mass. DXA revealed significant differences between the experimental groups and C. The DEP group also lost significantly more body mass and fat mass when compared with D, while no significant difference was observed between the other groups. A similar pattern was seen for circumference measurement data. A significant perceived improvement was made by the DEP group when compared with C, D and DE groups for skin condition and also between the DEP versus C and D groups for cellulite. The combination of diet and exercise is successful for weight reduction. The additional application of lower body pressure especially affects skin appearance.

Difference in segmental lean and fat mass components between pre- and postmenopausal women

Abstract: Aging rather than menopause contributes to the increase in the percentage of trunk fat mass. However, the percentage of leg fat mass does not change with aging. Upper body fat distribution in postmenopausal women may be more attributable to aging than to menopause.
