Why do men's stomachs protrude with age? The biological and lifestyle factors explained
According to the National Institutes of Health, research shows that men's visceral fat—the fat stored deep within the abdominal cavity—can more than double between their 30s and 60s. This age-related increase in visceral fat is a primary reason why men's stomachs protrude with age, driven by a complex interplay of hormonal and lifestyle factors. Understanding the root causes is the first step toward managing this common health concern.
