A prominent rib refers to a rib that is more easily visible or noticeable than usual, often due to factors such as body composition, posture, or weight loss. This prominence can be a normal anatomical variation or may indicate underlying health issues, especially if accompanied by other symptoms. In some cases, it may be associated with certain medical conditions or a lack of body fat over the rib cage.
