Most of the remaining nonvisceral fat is found just below the skin in a region called the [[hypodermis]]. This subcutaneous fat is not related to many of the classic obesity-related pathologies, such as [[heart disease]], cancer, and [[stroke]], and some evidence even suggests it might be protective. The typically female (or gynecoid) pattern of body fat distribution around the hips, thighs, and buttocks is subcutaneous fat, and therefore poses less of a health risk compared to visceral fat.

Subcutaneous fat

Micro-anatomy of subcutaneous fat

Most of the remaining nonvisceral fat is found just below the skin in a region called the hypodermis. This subcutaneous fat is not related to many of the classic obesity-related pathologies, such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke, and some evidence even suggests it might be protective. The typically female (or gynecoid) pattern of body fat distribution around the hips, thighs, and buttocks is subcutaneous fat, and therefore poses less of a health risk compared to visceral fat.
