Enhanced intra-abdominal visceral fat accumulation in patients with Werner's syndrome

International Journal of Obesity, 2001
Studies were made on the abnormality of glucose and lipid metabolism and its cause in four patients with Werner's syndrome to infer the reason for accelerated atherogenesis in this syndrome.Of these four patients, hypercholesterolemia was found in three, hypertriglyceridemia in four, hypoalphalipoproteinemia in two and hypertension in two.

[Intra-abdominal visceral fat in myotonic dystrophy].

Rinsho shinkeigaku = Clinical neurology, 1993
We first clarified the relationship between abdominal visceral fat accumulation and impaired glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with myotonic dystrophy. Nineteen patients aged 44.2 +/- 11.4 years with a body mass index (BMI) of 20.5 +/- 2.8 kg/m2, and 18 controls aged 45.2 +/- 10.3 years, with a BMI 20.0 +/- 2.8 kg/m2 were examined.

Assessment of intra-abdominal and subcutaneous abdominal fat: relation between anthropometry and computed tomography

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1987
The ability to distinguish between intra-abdominal and subcutaneous abdominal fat may be important in epidemiologic and clinical research. In this study anthropometric measurements were taken from 71 men and 34 women presenting for routine computed tomography (CT).

Increased Intra-abdominal Fat Predicts Perioperative Complications Following Minimally Invasive Partial Nephrectomy

Urology, 2013
To evaluate the anthropometric measurements of body mass index, outer-abdominal fat (OAF) and intra-abdominal fat (IAF) for their utility in predicting perioperative complications following minimally invasive partial nephrectomy.We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients who underwent a laparoscopic or robotic partial nephrectomy between

Abnormal fat: A useful marker of intra-abdominal disease at computed tomography

Clinical Radiology, 1984
Computed tomography (CT) gives unique information about the margins of the intra-abdominal organs and the intervening fat and fascial planes. Not infrequently, these planes appear abnormal without any visible underlying cause. We present 85 patients in whom such an abnormality was shown.

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 ...

Total and intra-abdominal fat measurements by ultrasound and computerized tomography.

International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 1993
Computerized tomography, a method of proven reliability for direct measurement of both total and visceral body fat, is not widely usable and alternative means of assessing body fat are required. Several anthropometric parameters, including ultrasound measurements of intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat, were considered in 119 females (age 15-72 years ...
