The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

High-fat diet-induced obesity in animal models (2010, background): “…basal fat oxidation and greater number of a 2 -adrenoceptors, as well as decreased a 2 -adrenergic sensitivity in the abdominal region, all lead to more fat storage in the thigh region and less in the abdomen compared with men who have greater storage of fat in the upper body (android) (293–295) .”
Adipose tissue-derived factors: impact on health and disease. (2006, background): “Women have a higher percentage of body fat than men and tend to store adipose tissue preferentially in the gluteal-femoral region as opposed to the classic male pattern obesity concentrated in the visceral and abdominal depots (38).”
Risk Factors Associated with Acute Pyelonephritis in Healthy Women (2005, background): “However, women generally have a higher percent body fat than men.(39) Therefore, a woman with a given BMI will, on average, have more adipose tissue than a man with the same BMI.”
