A member asked:
Is fat storage in my waist and abdominal region genetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To some extent.: Truncal obesity is one of the major risk factors. There is a genetic predisposition, but just like with any case of obesity - it is a simple calory count math. If one uses more calories, then he or she consumes, the weight will reduce.
