the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 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 visceral belly fat causes high blood cholesterol levels?

Unclear. Several sources associate excess visceral fat with an adverse lipid profile, including elevated triglycerides and lowered HDL cholesterol, and with metabolic and cardiovascular risk. None of the placed items establishes that visceral belly fat causes high blood cholesterol levels specifically.
