Total and intra-abdominal fat measurements by ultrasound and computerized tomography.

International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 1993
Computerized tomography, a method of proven reliability for direct measurement of both total and visceral body fat, is not widely usable and alternative means of assessing body fat are required. Several anthropometric parameters, including ultrasound measurements of intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat, were considered in 119 females (age 15-72 years ...

Clustering of insulin resistance, total and central abdominal fat: same genes or same environment?

Twin Research (1999), 1999
AbstractObesity, insulin resistance and disturbed glucose metabolism cluster within the Insulin Resistance Syndrome (IRS). Whether this reflects shared genetic or environmental factors detectable in ‘normal’ populations (not selected for IRS features) is unknown.

Subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue is associated with the metabolic syndrome in Asian Indians independent of intra-abdominal and total body fat

Heart, 2010
Hypothesis Subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SCAT) compared with intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT) would be more significantly associated with the metabolic syndrome in Asian Indians. Design Cross-sectional study.

Parental smoking during pregnancy and total and abdominal fat distribution in school-age children: the Generation R Study

International Journal of Obesity, 2014
Fetal smoke exposure may influence growth and body composition later in life. We examined the associations of maternal and paternal smoking during pregnancy with total and abdominal fat distribution in school-age children.We performed a population-based prospective cohort study among 5243 children followed from early pregnancy onward in the Netherlands.

A rapid and reliable semiautomated method for measurement of total abdominal fat volumes using magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2003
The aim of this study was the development of a reliable and fast method to estimate total abdominal fat volumes (TAF) in diabetic subjects on the basis of T1-weighted MR images. Thirty-seven patients with diabetes were examined (age 48 +/- 13 y mean +/- SD).

Effect of Exercise on Total and Intraabdominal Body Fat in Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2003
The increasing prevalence of obesity is a major public health concern. Physical activity may promote weight and body fat loss.To examine the effects of exercise on total and intra-abdominal body fat overall and by level of exercise.Randomized controlled trial conducted from 1997 to 2001.A total of 173 sedentary, overweight (body mass index > or =24.0 ...

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Total-Body and Central Abdominal Fat: The Effect of Physical Activity in Female Twins

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1999
The increasing prevalence of obesity has focused attention on the contribution of physical activity and its interaction with predisposing genetic factors.To examine 1) the relation between physical activity and total-body and central abdominal fat, independent of genetic and other environmental factors, and 2) the influence of physical activity in ...

Contrasting effects in anthropometric measures of total fatness and abdominal fat mass following endurance and concurrent endurance and resistance training.

The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness, 2010
An increased total fatness, and especially abdominal fat deposition, is associated with a greater risk for a variety of health problems and metabolic disturbances. It is commonly accepted that endurance training induces the greatest alterations in total adiposity despite resistance training possibly having other advantages on body fat distribution ...

In vivo assessment of breast muscle, abdominal fat and total fat volume in meat-type chickens by magnetic resonance imaging.

Acta veterinaria Hungarica, 1998
Measurements were performed on commercial broiler chickens by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tomography. A total of 72 chickens were scanned at the age of 6, 7, 8, 10, 16 and 20 weeks. MRI scans based on spin echo sequence were taken in the three orthogonal planes.
