How can you say that the amount of fat is more in women than men?

Please find below the solution to the asked query

Generally the women have more fat content than men but it may not be always true. There are many reasons of this and some of them are:
  1. The main reason is biological reason i.e the female hormones like estrogen cause increases fat deposition.
  2. The women require less calories per pound of body weight than men. This causes extra food to be stored as fat.
  3. The women using birth control pills also causes increased fat deposition in them.
  4. The other reason is thought to be the nourishing of foetus during pregnancy from their own fat reserves. They stock energy in the form of fat to nourish the foetus during pregnancy.
