Sarcopenic obesity (skinny fat), is where an excess amount of visceral fat is stored around the truncal and abdominal area of the body. Alongside that, muscle mass is far lower, in areas such as the chest, arms, shoulders, back, glutes and legs than that of a typical XY person. Most people with Klinefelter’s Syndrome are skinny fat. Dressed they look fit and healthy; undressed the difference can be quite marked. The problem is that looking healthy is not enough as although their BMI and weight maybe within a normal range the fat stored around the body is a serious cause for concern.
