The Claim
In postmenopausal women, estrone concentration is significantly elevated in visceral adipose tissue compared to subcutaneous adipose tissue, with median values of 928 pmol/kg versus 706 pmol/kg, demonstrating a statistically significant difference (P = 0.002).
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
After menopause, women have more of the hormone estrone in the fat around their internal organs compared to the fat under their skin - about 30% more, and this difference is statistically proven.

Estrone concentration in visceral adipose tissue is significantly higher than in subcutaneous adipose tissue in postmenopausal women, with median values of 928 pmol/kg versus 706 pmol/kg (P = 0.002)
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Estrogen Metabolism in Abdominal Subcutaneous and Visceral Adipose Tissue in Postmenopausal Women
The study directly confirms what the claim says - it measured estrone in both types of belly fat in postmenopausal women and found that visceral fat has higher estrone (928 vs 706 pmol/kg), exactly as the claim states.
