Increased Fat
An abnormal increase in body fat, particularly in hormonally sensitive areas such as the abdomen, hips, or breasts. Often associated with hormonal imbalances affecting fat distribution and metabolism.
Quick answer
Increased fat (ICD-10: E65; ICD-11: 5A80) in a hormonal context reflects disruptions to fat distribution driven by oestrogen, cortisol, insulin, or thyroid imbalance. Hormonal assessment is priority. Evidence supports dietary modification, resistance training, and targeted hormonal correction.
