The authors state and prove sufficient conditions for all the existing odd central moments of a distribution with finite mean to be nonnegative. The conditions are expressed in terms of the density or distribution function. The proof of the corresponding theorems is based on the mass transportation principle, which permits to reduce the class of distributions under consideration to a smaller class with a particular simple description.
