Cellulite is thought to occur in 80–90% of post-adolescent females.[7][12] There appears to be a hormonal component to its presentation. Its existence as a real disorder has been challenged[13] and the prevailing medical opinion is that it is merely the "normal condition of many women".[14] It is rarely seen in males,[1] but is more common in males with androgen-deficient states, such as Klinefelter's syndrome, hypogonadism, postcastration states and in those patients receiving estrogen therapy for prostate cancer. The cellulite becomes more severe as the androgen deficiency worsens in these males.[citation needed] History
The term was first used in the 1920s by spa and beauty services to promote their services, and began appearing in English-language publications in the late 1960s, with the earliest reference in Vogue magazine, "Like a swift migrating fish, the word cellulite has suddenly crossed the Atlantic."[15]
This reply is very helpful and informative E for which I thank thee. Know what's funny? Walt is the one who brought up "cellulite" and from that I asked the question. :)
