The difference is not on the scales, but in the distribution of adipose tissue. <strong>Where<\/strong> the body stores fat says more about cardiometabolic risk than the total amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Center for Prevention and Nutrition in Berlin-Moabit, the assessment of the metabolic situation focuses not only on body weight, but in particular on the question: <strong>Where is adipose tissue located \u2013 and what metabolic relevance does it have?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Not all fat is the same<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adipose tissue fulfils physiological functions. It stores energy, protects organs and is hormonally active. However, what matters is <strong>where<\/strong> this tissue is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A broad distinction is made between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 subcutaneous fat (under the skin)<br>\u2022 visceral fat (in the abdominal cavity, stored around organs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scientific studies show that visceral fat has significantly higher metabolic activity and is more strongly associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular risks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.111.067264\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A fundamental overview is provided by Despr\u00e9s (2012, <em>Circulation<\/em>)<\/a>, who describes the central role of fat distribution in cardiometabolic diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Evidence from large cohort studies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.106.675355\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Framingham Heart Study (Fox et al., 2007)<\/a> show that visceral adipose tissue correlates significantly with metabolic risk factors \u2013 independently of body mass index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These data make it clear: two people with identical body weight can have a completely different metabolic risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why BMI is not enough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The body mass index is a statistical tool. It takes neither muscle mass nor fat distribution into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A BMI within the normal range does not rule out increased visceral fat mass. Conversely, an elevated BMI can be due to a high proportion of muscle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a preventive strategy, BMI alone is therefore not sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Differentiated assessment at the Center for Prevention and Nutrition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Center for Prevention and Nutrition in Berlin-Moabit, fat distribution is recorded in a differentiated way as part of a structured body analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the medical history, body composition is assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) \u2014 a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15380917\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">scientifically established and clinically validated method (Kyle et al., 2004)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The focus is particularly on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 total fat mass<br>\u2022 visceral fat indicators<br>\u2022 muscle mass<br>\u2022 ratio of fat mass to muscle mass<br>\u2022 development over time<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through structured progress documentation, changes can be observed objectively and strategies adjusted in a targeted way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prevention means early classification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visceral fat often develops unnoticed. Externally visible changes are not necessarily proportional to internal fat distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An early differentiated analysis makes it possible to classify risks preventively and plan measures in a structured way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of a prevention-oriented nutrition strategy, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids can be considered \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/bezugla.de\/en\/product\/biogena-omega-3-forte-700\/\">Omega 3 forte 700<\/a> contains EPA and DHA; EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. The stated recommended daily intake must not be exceeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially in the professionally demanding environment of Berlin-Mitte, a data-based assessment is helpful in order to make long-term decisions on a sound basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visceral fat has a metabolic relevance of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distribution of adipose tissue is more informative for risk assessment than total weight alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Center for Prevention and Nutrition in Berlin-Moabit, structured body analysis enables a differentiated assessment of fat distribution as well as objective progress monitoring as part of preventive strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tm-order tm-margin-large-bottom\">\n  <div class=\"tm-order__title tm-h3 bold text-center tm-margin-small-bottom\">Individual nutritional counselling in Berlin<\/div>\n  <p class=\"tm-h5 light text-center tm-margin-default-bottom\">Would you like to have your diet analysed in a targeted way and your body composition measured professionally?
