What type of fat poses a higher risk?

  1. Subcutaneous fat

  2. Intramuscular fat

  3. Visceral fat

  4. Trans fat

The correct answer is: Visceral fat

Both subcutaneous and intramuscular fats are considered "good" fats and are used by the body for energy storage. In contrast, visceral fat is considered "bad" fat as it is located around the organs and can increase the risk of health issues such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Similarly, trans fat is also considered unhealthy and is known to increase the risk of heart disease and other health issues. But visceral fat is considered to pose a higher risk due to its location and its association with chronic diseases.
