Change in Intra-Abdominal Fat Predicts the Risk of Hypertension in Japanese Americans [PDF]
Hypertension, 2015 In Japanese Americans, intra-abdominal fat area measured by computed tomography is positively associated with the prevalence and incidence of hypertension. Evidence in other populations suggests that other fat areas may be protective. We sought to determine whether a change in specific fat depots predicts the development of hypertension.
