Should we return to the horse and cart?

The global rise in visceral adiposity constitutes a major public health challenge, commonly attributed to individual behavioural factors such as diet and physical inactivity.

Thermal Environment Manipulation and Human Metabolism

The widespread adoption of heating and air conditioning has reduced human exposure to thermal variability, potentially diminishing thermoregulatory energy expenditure.

Global Warming, Human Adaptation, and Visceral  Adiposity

This paper develops a systems-based analysis of the relationship between global warming, human adaptation, and visceral adiposity, with particular emphasis on the implications for metabolic health and pre-diabet

Visceral Adiposity, Sexual Dimorphism, and the Built  Environment

Sexual dimorphism in human fat distribution is well documented, with men tending toward greater visceral adiposity and women more commonly storing fat subcutaneously, particularly in gluteofemoral regions.

You Can't Wear a Skirt on the Moon… or can you?

The relationship between modern environments and metabolic health has been widely examined in physiology, epidemiology, and public health.

 A Systems-Level Analysis of Visceral Adiposity and Metabolic Dysfunction

This paper presents a systems-level analysis of visceral adiposity and associated metabolic dysfunction, reframing these conditions not as isolated physiological failures but as predictable outputs of a complex,
