A new study has revealed that the subcutaneous fat that appears under the skin in places such as the hip, buttocks and back of the arms emerges as protective against brain inflammation in females.
According to the study by the Medical College of Georgia, this brain inflammation in females could result in problems like dementia and stroke, at least until menopause.
However, males of any age are more likely to deposit fat around the major organs in their abdominal cavity, known as visceral adiposity.
