The widespread adoption of heating and air conditioning has reduced human exposure to thermal variability, potentially diminishing thermoregulatory energy expenditure.
The relationship between modern environments and metabolic health has been widely examined in physiology, epidemiology, and public health.
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, tightly coupled bio
