Belly Fat + Low Muscle Mass: 83% Higher Death Risk! Act Now to Prevent Premature Death

• A study reveals abdominal fat combined with low muscle mass significantly increases the risk of premature death, especially for those over 50.
• Individuals with "sarcopenic obesity" (muscle loss replaced by fat, particularly in the abdomen) face an 83% higher death risk.
• This condition leads to weakness, fatigue, increased fall risk, and reduced quality of life, often unnoticed as a serious illness.
• Excess fat causes inflammation and metabolic changes, accelerating muscle breakdown and reducing muscle quality.
• Early identification by appearance (belly fat, thin body) and intervention with diet, exercise, and medical consultation are crucial.

Why It Matters: Abdominal fat with low muscle mass drastically raises premature death risk; urgent lifestyle changes are vital.
