Visceral fat area is more strongly associated with arterial stiffness than abdominal subcutaneous fat area in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome
Few studies have compared the correlation between visceral fat area (VFA) and abdominal subcutaneous fat area (SFA) with arterial stiffness (AS) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In addition, there is currently controversy regarding the correlation

Establishing computed tomography-defined visceral fat area thresholds for use in obesity-related cancer research

, 2013
Excess visceral adiposity is associated with increased gastrointestinal cancer risk. Evidence suggests that the systemic inflammation and dysmetabolism observed in visceral obesity underpins this association.

Evaluation of preoperative visceral fat area / psoas muscle area ratio and prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery
Recent research has focused on the prognostic relevance of preoperative sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in various cancers. In this study we investigated the relationship between visceral fat area (VFA), psoas muscle area (PMA), and the prognosis of ...

Association between Visceral Fat and Brain Structural Changes or Cognitive Function

, 2021
Visceral fat accumulation is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Visceral fat is a causal risk factor for hypertension and type 2 diabetes, which was reported as one of the risk factors for dementia.

The visceral fat area/subcutaneous fat area ratio is positively associated with carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Endocrine Connections
Background Evidence has demonstrated that visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) have different influences on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Reliability of anthropometric parameters in the prediction of the visceral fat area among adult women

, 2013
Visceral fat accumulation is a risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) provided the most accurate techniques of abdominal fat assessment, but these methods are very expensive.

Interobserver reproducibility of single-slice computed tomography for quantifying visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat in obese adults

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
Background Abdominal fat distribution plays a critical role in metabolic and surgical risk assessment. Although volumetric computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for fat quantification, single-slice techniques are increasingly used in clinical ...
