Characteristics Study of Visceral Fat Ratio’s Relationship with Body Weight, Food Portion Size and Exercise Using Viscoplastic Energy Model of GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine (No. 1044, VMT #442)

Abstract

Gerald C. Hsu

Excessive body weight, particularly from visceral fat, elevates the risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, and certain soecific cancers. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which is beneath the skin, visceral fat is more detrimental due to its adverse effects on metabolism and hormone levels.

Consuming large, high-calorie, and fatty meals can lead to a positive energy balance, subsequently increasing both body weight and visceral fat storage as surplus calories are converted to fat.

Aerobic exercises, including walking, running, and cycling, effectively reduce visceral fat. Similarly, resistance training contributes by augmenting muscle mass, enhancing metabolic rate, and improving insulin sensitivity, aiding in visceral fat reduction. The pathophysiological mechanisms involved encompass insulin resistance and inflammatory markers such as TNF-alpha and IL-6, leading to systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic disturbances. Hormonal imbalances involving leptin and adiponectin affect hunger, satiety, fat distribution, and insulin sensitivity. Energy balance also plays a crucial role in weight gain and visceral fat accumulation.

The author analyzed personal data on visceral fat ratio (VF%), body weight (BW), food portion sizes, and walking steps from August 11, 2023, to March 17, 2024, to examine the correlation between VF% and BW. Moreover, he utilized the space-domain Viscoplastic medicine energy method (SD-VMT) to calculate the energy association between VF% and its three major influencing factors.
