It is clear that central obesity is a strong predictor of multiple health risks. It appears likely that much of the influence for the preferential deposition of fat in these various stores is related to sex hormones, although other factors clearly play a role, including genetic, environmental, nutritional, and other factors. Whereas a great deal has been discovered about these relationships in the past 10 years, further study is necessary to clarify them and determine what role dietary and surgical interventions may play in the prevention and reversal of those risk factors.
显然，中心性肥胖是多种健康风险的有力预测指标。脂肪在这些不同储存部位的优先沉积，其很大一部分影响可能与性激素有关，不过其他因素显然也发挥作用，包括遗传、环境、营养及其他因素。尽管在过去10年里已经对这些关系有了很多发现，但仍需进一步研究来阐明它们，并确定饮食和手术干预在预防和逆转这些风险因素中可能发挥的作用。
