Genome-wide association study of body fat distribution identifies adiposity loci and sex-specific genetic effects

Nature Communications, 2019
Body mass and body fat composition are of clinical interest due to their links to cardiovascular- and metabolic diseases. Fat stored in the trunk has been suggested to be more pathogenic compared to fat stored in other compartments.

Effect Of The Body Mass Index To Body Fat

Kinestetik, 2020
Many sports nutritionist noted that the loss of weight, or more accurately, to lose body fat, is the main reason athletes asking for nutritional counseling. This study aims to determine the effect of BMI on body fat.

Association between regional body fat and cardiovascular disease risk among postmenopausal women with normal body mass index.

European Heart Journal, 2019
AIMS Central adiposity is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, even among people with normal body mass index (BMI). We tested the hypothesis that regional body fat deposits (trunk or leg fat) are associated with altered risk of ...

The Metabolic Phenotype in Obesity: Fat Mass, Body Fat Distribution, and Adipose Tissue Function

Obesity Facts, 2017
The current obesity epidemic poses a major public health issue since obesity predisposes towards several chronic diseases. BMI and total adiposity are positively correlated with cardiometabolic disease risk at the population level.

The relation between visceral adipose tissue accumulation and biochemical tests in university students. [PDF]

, 2005
We evaluated the visceral adipose tissue accumulation in university students in Okayama prefecture, Japan. Fifty-eight Japanese university students (10 men and 48 women, age 18.4 +/- 0.6 years)were enrolled in this study.

Relative fat mass (RFM) as a new estimator of whole-body fat percentage ─ A cross-sectional study in American adult individuals

Scientific Reports, 2018
High whole-body fat percentage is independently associated with increased mortality. We aimed to identify a simple anthropometric linear equation that is more accurate than the body mass index (BMI) to estimate whole-body fat percentage among adult ...

Three-compartment body composition changes in elite rugby league players during a super league season, measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. [PDF]

, 2011
This study investigated the acute changes in body composition that occur over the course of a competitive season in elite rugby league players. Twenty elite senior players from an English Super League rugby league team underwent a total-body dual-energy ...

New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution

Nature, 2014
Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to ...

Causal associations between body fat accumulation and COVID-19 severity: A Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Previous studies reported associations between obesity measured by body mass index (BMI) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, BMI is calculated only with height and weight and cannot distinguish between body fat mass and fat-free mass. Thus,
