Excess belly fat causes high blood pressure in adults.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that excess belly fat causes high blood pressure in adults?

Unclear. The retrieved items offer only partial, narrower support: a cross-sectional study links intra-abdominal fat to high blood pressure in men around age 20, and a small study associates BMI and epicardial fat with blood-pressure variability in healthy young adults. No item establishes that excess belly fat causes high blood pressure in adults generally.
