Sporting a dondhi deserves more attention than what we give to it!
Abdominal obesity, also known as belly fat or clinically as central obesity, is excessive abdominal fat around the stomach and abdomen. It can also occur in both children and teenagers if either of their parents have Abdominal obesity. There is a strong correlation between central obesity and cardiovascular disease.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_obesity#cite_note-1[/SUP]Abdominal obesity is not confined only to the elderly and obese subjects.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_obesity#cite_note-2[/SUP] Abdominal obesity has been linked to Alzheimer's Disease as well as other metabolic and vascular diseases.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_obesity#cite_note-3[/SUP]
Visceral and central abdominal fat and waist circumference show a strong association with type 2 diabetes.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_obesity#cite_note-4[/SUP]
Visceral fat, also known as organ fat or intra-abdominal fat, is located inside the peritoneal cavity, packed in between internal organs and torso, as opposed to subcutaneous fat‚ which is found underneath the skin, and intramuscular fat‚ which is found interspersed in skeletal muscle. Visceral fat is composed of several adipose depots including mesenteric, epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT) and perirenal fat. An excess of visceral fat is known as central obesity, the "pot belly" or "beer belly" effect, in which the abdomen protrudes excessively. This body type is also known as "apple shaped‚" as opposed to "pear shaped‚" in which fat is deposited on the hips and buttocks. Scientists have come to recognize that body fat, instead of body weight, is the key to evaluating obesity[SUP][citation needed][/SUP].
Researchers first started to focus on abdominal obesity in the 1980s when they realized that it had an important connection to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Abdominal obesity was more closely related with metabolic distractions connected with cardiovascular disease than was general obesity. In the late 1980s and early 1990s insightful and powerful imaging techniques were discovered that would further help advance our understanding of the health risks associated with body fat accumulation. Techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging made it possible to dissect mass of adipose tissue located at the abdominal level into intra-abdominal fat and subcutaneous fat.[SUP]

Good in one way! Now my aim is to reduce some pounds within one year! :becky:
When we talk of pot bellies, I remember myself as a small boy of 7 or 8 years looking at the pot belly with all curiosity of our family vadhyar from the near by agraharam who would come to our house for my grandma's thithi.
