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.

Increased intra-abdominal fat predicts perioperative complications following minimally invasive partial nephrectomy.

Urology, 2014
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

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.

The contribution of sonography to the measurement of intra‐abdominal fat

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1990
AbstractA study was conducted on a group of 50 obese females with a mean body mass index of 39 ± 16, aged 19 years to 60 years, in order to determine if sonography could be adopted as a direct means for measuring intra‐abdominal fat deposits. Adipose tissue evaluation was performed by computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (using 3.5‐MHz and 5 ...

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 ...

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).

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 ...
