A recent study from the University of Oxford has stirred conversation by suggesting that women with larger buttocks may be both healthier and smarter.
Published in the International Journal of Obesity, the study analyzed data from over 16,000 women. Researchers found that those with more fat stored in their hips and buttocks tend to have lower cholesterol, better hormone levels, and even a higher potential for cognitive ability.
While the findings have sparked curiosity and debate, scientists note that body fat distribution can play a role in overall health — and in this case, may offer unexpected benefits.
