Explanation
While there is no specific quiz to determine if you have gained belly fat, measuring your waist circumference can be a useful tool. Waist size can indicate the amount of belly fat you have.
- Visceral fat, another type of fat, can impact your muscle mass and overall body composition. This means that gaining belly fat can change how your body looks and functions.
- In women, changes in body composition, like gaining belly fat, can happen due to various factors. This includes natural changes or medical treatments.
If you're concerned about belly fat, it might be helpful to talk to a healthcare provider. They can give you advice on how to measure and manage your waist size.
