interestingly like 70% of women over the age of 50 have high visceral fat 50% of men over the age of 50 do you know again coming down to women go through menopause estrogen plays an important role in telling the body you know to store the fat subcutaneously rather than viscerally deep around organs and so as women transition to pmenopause you know the years before menopause and menopause it their estrogen goes down and that does change the way the body stores fat.
