Body fat topography was determined using anthropometric techniques in young, healthy, Indian and Tibetan adults. Indian subjects had significantly higher fat contents with greater abdominal obesity when compared with Tibetans matched for body mass index (BMI). This differential fat distribution may contribute, in part, to the greater cardiovascular risk of Indians. Using a cross sectional model, the data was also analysed to assess the probable changes in body fat topography with weight gain. This model suggests a preferential gain in abdominal subcutaneous fat as compared to other sites. This data may have implications while evaluating disease risks with weight gain.
