Why do men start accumulating more stomach fat at around the same age range?
In: Biology
Some have suggested that it is to protect the inner organs since men are more likely to be in fights. A decent layer of fat provides extra protection from blunt force trauma to the torso and even decent cuts and stabs.
Inner fat is more unhealthy in general, but if you live in prehistoric times you might not even live long enough for that to matter.
