Anterior–Posterior Abdominal Diameter and Waist Circumference Have Comparable Predictive Ability for Visceral Fat Area [PDF]

Obesity Science & Practice
Objective Waist circumference measurement is commonly used as a method for predicting the visceral fat area. However, waist circumference is difficult to measure, and there is a large margin of error between measurements.

Visceral fat area measured with computed tomography does not predict postoperative course in Crohn´s disease patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The role of visceral fat measured by computer tomography is yet not well defined in patients with Crohn's disease. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess the impact of visceral fat area on postoperative short-term outcome and surgical ...

Pathophysiologic Contributions of Visceral Adiposity to Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Background: Visceral fat produces inflammatory cytokines and may play a major role in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, little data exist regarding how qualitative and quantitative abnormalities of visceral fat would ...

Association Between Visceral Fat and Brain Cortical Thickness in the Elderly: A Neuroimaging Study

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
BackgroundDespite emerging evidence suggesting that visceral fat may play a major role in obesity-induced neurodegeneration, little evidence exists on the association between visceral fat and brain cortical thickness in the elderly.PurposeWe aimed to ...

Visceral fat area is the measure of obesity best associated with mobility disability in community dwelling oldest-old Chinese adults

BMC Geriatrics, 2021
Background Although obesity can be clinically defined by body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, percent body fat, or visceral fat area, it is unclear which specific measure is best associated with mobility disability in oldest-old adults.

Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Liver Fat Accumulation According to Sex and Visceral Obesity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Associations between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and liver fat accumulation have been frequently investigated because both morbidities are common. Visceral fat was reported to be closely related to OSA and liver fat accumulation.
