Intra‐abdominal fat in obese children

Pediatrics International, 1995
AbstractWe investigated the distribution of abdominal fat accumulation in obese children to know whether a clustering of coronary risk factors was demonstrated in visceral fat obesity as reported in adults. The relative indicator of intra‐abdominal fat accumulation was obtained from computed tomography scans at the umbilicus level in 36 obese subjects (

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.

Intra-abdominal Fat Predicts Survival in Pancreatic Cancer

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2010
Body mass index (BMI) has proven unreliable in predicting survival following pancreaticoduodenectomy for cancer. While measures of intra-abdominal fat correlate with medical and postoperative complications of obesity, the impact of intra-abdominal fat on pancreatic cancer survival is uncertain.

Longitudinal Assessment of Intra‐abdominal Fat in Postmenopausal Women

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract: Longitudinal changes in intra‐abdominal (IA) fat and total body fat were assessed in three healthy postmenopausal Caucasian women receiving hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during a seven‐year follow‐up study. Measurements were made using dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry, anthropometry, and magnetic resonance images.

Hypercortisolemic Depression Is Associated With Increased Intra-Abdominal Fat

Psychosomatic Medicine, 2002
Similar to patients with a metabolic syndrome, patients with major depression are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disorders. Interestingly, both disorders share a specific endocrine syndrome that promotes the accumulation of visceral fat, which again is considered a marker of increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Intra ...

Predicting intra-abdominal fatness from anthropometric measures: the influence of stature

International Journal of Obesity, 1997
To investigate the influence of height on the relationships between the intra-abdominal fat and anthropometric measures.Twenty healthy female volunteers aged 20-51 y from Aberdeen, and 71 men and 34 women aged 19-85 y from Nijmegen, The Netherlands.Intra-abdominal fat volumes by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Aberdeen and cross-sectional areas at ...

Effect of gender on intra-abdominal fat in teenagers and young adults

Pediatric Radiology, 2010
Adult men accumulate greater intra-abdominal fat (IAF) than adult women, a difference closely related to gender differences in cardiometabolic disease risk in the elderly. However, the time when this gender difference appears is a matter of controversy.We examine the influence of gender on IAF deposition in lean, overweight and obese teenagers and ...

Presurgical Assessment of Intra-abdominal Visceral Fat in Obese Patients

2012
To date, obesity is simply defined as body mass index (BMI) higher or equal to 30 kg/m2 (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute/National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney diseases 1998). Although BMI is widely accepted as a marker of adiposity in population-based studies, and is recognized as an instrument to diagnose obesity for all ...
