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 (

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.

Sonography detection of small intra-abdominal fat variations.

International journal of obesity, 1991
The aim of this study was to check the reliability of sonography in measuring small variations in quantities of subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat. Twenty-six obese women (BMI 39 +/- 6) underwent a 15 day very low calorie diet. The study included, both before and after very low calorie diet, computed tomography measurements of total (AT), visceral ...
