The association between cardiorespiratory fitness and abdominal adiposity in postmenopausal, physically inactive South Asian women [PDF]
Preventive Medicine Reports, 2015 In South Asians, a unique obesity phenotype of high abdominal fat is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with abdominal fat and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Visceral fat mass determination in rodent: validation of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and anthropometric techniques in fat and lean rats [PDF]
Lipids in Health and Disease, 2010 Background Because abdominal obesity is predisposed to various metabolic disorders, it is of major importance to assess and track the changes with time of this specific fat mass.

Associations between Weight-Adjusted Waist Index and Abdominal Fat and Muscle Mass: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2022 Background The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) reflected body compositional changes with aging. This study was to investigate the association of WWI with abdominal fat and muscle mass in a diverse race/ethnic population. Methods Computed tomography (CT)

Growth of Visceral Fat, Subcutaneous Abdominal Fat, and Total Body Fat in Children [PDF]
Obesity Research, 2001 AbstractObjective: To examine the patterns of growth of visceral fat, subcutaneous abdominal fat, and total body fat over a 3‐ to 5‐year period in white and African American children.Research Methods and Procedures: Children (mean age: 8.1 ± 1.6 years at baseline) were recruited from Birmingham, Alabama, and those with three or more repeated annual ...

Familial Clustering of Abdominal Visceral Fat and Total Fat Mass: The Québec Family Study [PDF]
Obesity Research, 1996 AbstractThe evidence for common familial factors underlying total fat mass (estimated from underwater weighing) and abdominal visceral fat (assessed from CT scan) was examined in families participating in phase 2 of the Québec Family Study (QFS) using a bivariate familial correlation model.

Bioelectrical Impedance Underestimates Total and Truncal Fatness in Abdominally Obese Women [PDF]
Obesity, 2006 AbstractObjective: To compare estimates of total and truncal fatness from eight‐electrode bioelectrical impedance analysis equipment (BIA8) with those from DXA in centrally obese women. The secondary aim was to examine BMI and waist circumference (WC) as proxy measures for percentage total body fat (%TBF) and truncal body fat percentage (tr%BF ...

Predicting total, abdominal, visceral and hepatic adiposity with circulating biomarkers in Caucasian and Japanese American women. [PDF]
, 2012 Characterization of abdominal and intra-abdominal fat requires imaging, and thus is not feasible in large epidemiologic studies.We investigated whether biomarkers may complement anthropometry (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], and waist ...

Use of iDXA spine scans to evaluate total and visceral abdominal fat [PDF]
American Journal of Human Biology, 2017 AbstractObjectivesAbdominal fat may be a better predictor than body mass index (BMI) for risk of metabolically‐related diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. We sought to validate the percent fat reported on dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) regional spine scans (spine fat fraction, SFF) against abdominal fat ...
