Measurement of Body Fat and Fat Distribution
Journal of Nursing Measurement, 1995Overweight and obesity are increasing in prevalent and thus an important area for intervention and investigation. Researchers and clinicians have a variety of measurement techniques to assess body fatness and regional fat. These techniques are chosen for their accuracy and precision in light of their cost, convenience, and safety.

Familial resemblance in fatness and fat distribution
American Journal of Human Biology, 2000The purpose of the study was to estimate the degree of familial resemblance in anthropometric indicators of fatness and fat distribution. The sample consisted of 327 Caucasian participants from 102 nuclear families. Indicators of fatness included the body mass index (BMI), the sum of six skinfolds (SF6: triceps + biceps + medial calf + subscapular ...

Body fat distribution and dyslipidemia
The American Journal of Medicine, 1995I n this issue of The American Journal of Medicine@, Walton et al demonstrate a relationship between central body fat distribution and elevated plasma triglyceride and decreased high-density lipoprotein subfraction 2 (HDLJ cholesterol in men. Body fat was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA}, and fat distribution by the ratio of fat ...

Androgens and body fat distribution
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008An important sex difference in body fat distribution is generally observed. Men are usually characterized by the android type of obesity, with accumulation of fat in the abdominal region, whereas women often display the gynoid type of obesity, with a greater proportion of their body fat in the gluteal-femoral region.

Fat Distribution and Health in Obesity
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000Abstract: Although independent associations of visceral fat with the insulin resistance syndrome were previously reported in obese women, the importance of truncal subcutaneous fat in this syndrome is controversial. The method by which the various fat depots are measured may be the reason for the underlying controversy. In the past five years, we have

BODY FAT DISTRIBUTION AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
American Journal of Epidemiology, 1990The association of body fat distribution with single and combined site osteoarthritis was investigated using data from the US Health Examination Survey I, 1960-1962 (HES I) and the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I, 1971-1975 (NHANES I).

Fat distribution in Cuban infants
American Journal of Human Biology, 1994AbstractFatness and relative fat distribution of 505 infants from the city of Havana were identified by principal components analysis of four skinfolds. The first principal component accounts for 59–62% of the variance and represents overall fatness; the other components contrast trunk‐extremity and upper‐lower body fat. Principal component scores were

Endometriosis and Body Fat Distribution
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1993To examine the association of body fat distribution with risk of endometriosis in an effort to determine whether a specific somatotype is related to the disease.We conducted a case-control study of 88 laparoscopically confirmed cases of endometriosis, identified in a specialty gynecologic practice in western New York, and 88 age-matched friend controls.

Relationship of fat mass and fat distribution to blood pressure
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 1990The relationship of fat mass, lean body mass (LBM), and fat distribution to blood pressure was examined in Japanese adult men and women. Percent body fat was estimated using two skinfold thicknesses, and fat mass and LBM were then calculated. Correlation coefficients showed that fat mass, fat distribution, and age were weakly associated with blood ...

Menarche age, fatness, and fat distribution in Hawaiian adolescents
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1996Menarche age was assessed in 93 adolescent females in a sample of public schools in East Hawaii. Native Hawaiian girls had significantly lower reported age at menarche than non-Hawaiian classmates. Age at menarche was significantly correlated with total fatness as measured by the sum of six skinfolds in girls who had reached menarche at least 2 years ...
