New sagittal abdominal diameter and transverse abdominal diameter based equations to estimate visceral fat area in type 2 diabetes patients

BMC Public Health
Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are considered gold standards for measuring visceral fat area (VFA). However, their relatively high prices and potential radiation exposure limit their widespread use in clinical practice and ...

Influence of age and visceral fat area on plasma adiponectin concentrations in women with normal glucose tolerance

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Age-related adiponectin concentration has been discrepantly reported. We investigated the distribution of adiponectin by age in healthy women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and the relationship of adiponectin with visceral fat area (VFA).

Visceral fat area is a strong predictor of leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2, a potential biomarker of dyslipidemia. [PDF]

, 2017
Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) is a hepatokine linking obesity to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Although previous studies reported that obesity was associated with high levels of circulating LECT2 in human, the associations of detailed

Gender differences in diagnostic values of visceral fat area and waist circumference for predicting metabolic syndrome in Koreans

, 2011
Abdominal fat accumulation is known to be strongly implicated in development of metabolic syndrome (MetS). We examined diagnostic values of obesity-related parameters in 95 men and 185 women, and we determined optimal cutoff values of visceral fat area ...

Association of ratios of visceral fat area/subcutaneous fat area and muscle area/standard body weight at T12 CT level with the prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome

Chinese Medical Journal - Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Background It is well-known that body composition metrics can influence the prognosis of various diseases. This study investigated how body composition metrics predict acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) prognosis, focusing on the ratio of ...

Association of visceral fat area with early-stage locomotive syndrome across various age groups: a cross-sectional study

Scientific Reports
The association between visceral fat area (VFA) and locomotive syndrome (LS) has been extensively studied in the older population; however, the association between VFA and early-stage LS (stage 1 [LS1]) remains unclear.

Visceral fat-to-muscle ratio guides spontaneous closure in post-sepsis duodenal fistula: a body composition divergence beyond visceral-subcutaneous fat ratio

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate whether body composition parameters (visceral fat area/total abdominal muscle area index, VFA/TAMAI; visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio, VFA/SFA) predict spontaneous closure in duodenal fistula patients after ...
