Hello,
What does it mean if someone is a typical ectomorph but has a relatively high amount of fat in the abdominal area?
Thank you.
Such a situation indicates that the individual possesses an apple-shaped body type, meaning a tendency toward abdominal obesity and the resulting health complications. Extreme somatotypes (ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph) are relatively rare in the population; consider them primarily as simplified models. It is not uncommon for a dominant ectomorph to carry genetic predispositions to abdominal obesity; the variability of behavior and manifestations of living systems can be quite diverse...
