Abdominal fat is different from abdominal obesity, just like fat and obesity. Continue discussion in article talk page, not user talk page. Regards. Goesgolf20 ( talk) 04:40, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
There are only 3 types of fat:
As mentioned in the lead. They are fundamentally different. Abdominal obesity is notable only because of correlation with heart risk. Goesgolf20 ( talk) 09:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm, I am now wondering is there a point to having an article called "visceral fat"? I wasn't aware there were two other articles on subscutaneous or intramuscular fat. What about the other two articles should they be merged, kept or deleted? What are peoples views?-- Literaturegeek | T@1k? 18:40, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
My views lean towards merging this article with either abdominal obesity or body fat article. The other two articles i.e., subcutaneous fat and intramuscular fat I am wondering if they should be merged into body fat or left as they are?-- Literaturegeek | T@1k? 01:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
I never said that Golf, please don't misconstrue my words to back up your position. I said the merge the other way round, this page into abdominal obesity.-- Literaturegeek | T@1k? 08:07, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Than we agree to merge into adipose tissue than? Abdominal fat is vague it means either central obesity of visceral fat.-- Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 08:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
The problem is that "abdominal fat" is treated here, whether rightly or wrongly (though clearly not consistently), as a synonym for "visceral fat" which is a distinct and notable concept (fat inside the abdominal cavity - not subcutaneous fat which merely happens to be in the general area of the abdomen) which needs its own page. To redirect from "visceral fat" to "abdominal fat" to "adipose tissue" might have seemed sensible at every step, but the end effect is destructive. I can't support the elimination of this page unless visceral fat is first restored. 24.79.89.34 ( talk) 00:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
