While some view the 'dad bod' as a symbol of strength, stability and relatability, others perceive it as an indicator of poor health - and there's evidence to support this, reports Surrey Live. The characteristic excess abdominal fat associated with a dad bod can signal a higher risk for certain health issues.


The article from Bristol Post discusses a study linking the "dad bod" — a term for a slightly overweight or out-of-shape physique often associated with middle-aged men — to potential health risks. According to research from the University of Bristol, men with a higher Body Mass Index (BMI) and larger waistlines are at an increased risk for serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. The study emphasizes that while the "dad bod" might be culturally accepted or even celebrated, it could be a warning sign for underlying health problems. It suggests that men should not ignore these physical signs but rather use them as motivation to adopt healthier lifestyles, including better diet and increased physical activity, to mitigate these risks.
