Clinical indices and anthropometric measures for magnetic resonance imaging-defined visceral adiposity across the hypercortisolism spectrum [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
ObjectiveConventional anthropometric measures may inadequately capture metabolically relevant fat redistribution in hypercortisolism. We evaluated the discriminative performance of clinical indices (Hepatic Steatosis Index [HSI], Visceral Adiposity Index

Cost effective and adaptable measures of estimation of visceral adiposity

Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health, 2023
Background: Obesity is a major public health problem these days. Obesity, specifically visceral adiposity is linked to insulin resistance and an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases.

Visceral Adiposity Associates With Malnutrition Risk Determined by Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool in Cirrhosis

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Mounting evidence has suggested the clinical significance of body composition abnormalities in the context of cirrhosis. Herein, we aimed to investigate the association between visceral adiposity and malnutrition risk in 176 hospitalized patients with ...

Association between Visceral and Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue and Bone Quality in Sedentary and Physically Active Ovariectomized Wistar Rats

Life, 2021
Background: Obesity is considered protective for bone mass, but this view has been progressively challenged. Menopause is characterized by low bone mass and increased adiposity.

Association between visceral adiposity and DDX11 as a predictor of aggressiveness of small clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma: a prospective clinical trial

Cancer & Metabolism, 2021
Background Visceral fat produces several hormones and cytokines associated with carcinogenesis and tumor progression. Herein, we investigated the association between visceral adiposity and target-gene mRNA expression in patients with localized small ...

Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index Is More Closely Associated With Hypertension and Prehypertension Than Traditional Adiposity Indices in Chinese Population: Results From the REACTION Study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
PurposeThe optimal adiposity index that is strongly associated with hypertension or prehypertension remains inconclusive in Chinese population. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and ...

Visceral adiposity index is associated with lung function impairment: a population-based study

Respiratory Research, 2021
Background The effects of visceral adiposity on decreased lung function have drawn much attention. Recently, the visceral adiposity index (VAI) has been proposed as a visceral fat distribution and dysfunction marker. However, the relationship between the

Circulating amino acids as fingerprints of visceral adipose tissue independent of insulin resistance: a targeted metabolomic research in women

Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2021
Introduction: Although obesity and its biomarkers have been intensively studied, little is known about the metabolomic signature of visceral adiposity independent of insulin resistance that frequently accompanies increased levels of visceral fat.

Abdominal Adiposity Distribution in Diabetic/Prediabetic and Nondiabetic Populations: A Meta-Analysis

Journal of Obesity, 2014
Excess fat in the abdomen can be classified generally as visceral and subcutaneous adiposity. Evidence suggests that visceral adiposity has greater implications for diabetes than other fat depots.
