Fat Mass Reduction

Meaning

Fat Mass Reduction is the clinical objective of decreasing the absolute quantity of adipose tissue within the body, a process that is critical for improving metabolic health and mitigating risk factors for chronic endocrine-related diseases. This reduction specifically targets excess body fat, distinct from merely losing total body weight, and is a key therapeutic endpoint in the management of conditions like insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Achieving sustainable fat mass reduction requires a coordinated approach that addresses energy balance, hormonal signaling, and lifestyle modifications. Clinical monitoring involves assessing body composition changes rather than just scale weight.
