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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.
