[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.
