Core Tip	The focus of this current editorial is to introduce different adipose tissue types that may impose significant health risks to individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Accurate measuring of this depot of ectopic adipose tissue may require special knowledge; however, it is important considering the dramatic changes in body composition and the extensive loss in skeletal muscle tissue below the level of injury. The clinical implications of studying adipose tissue may encourage further research to decipher the mechanistic links with the metabolic profile after SCI. Our current knowledge is limited and rehabilitation strategies are still pre-mature in targeting ectopic adiposity after SCI.
