Associations of BMI and adipose tissue area and density with incident mobility limitation and poor performance in older adults.
BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for disability, but risk of specific adipose depots is not completely understood. OBJECTIVE We investigated associations between mobility limitation, performance, and the following adipose measures: body mass index (BMI) and areas and densities of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) in ol...

متن کاملMeasuring Adiposity in Patients: The Utility of Body Mass Index (BMI), Percent Body Fat, and Leptin
BACKGROUND Obesity is a serious disease that is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and cancer, among other diseases. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates a 20% obesity rate in the 50 states, with 12 states having rates of over 30%. Currently, the body mass index (BMI) is most commonly used to determine adip...
متن کاملJoint association of obesity and metabolic syndrome with incident mobility limitation in older men and women--results from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study.
BACKGROUND Although both obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are known risk factors for decline in physical function, the joint association of obesity and metabolic alterations with risk of incident mobility limitation is unknown. METHODS Data are from 2,984 women and men aged 70-79 years participating in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study without mobility limitation at basel...
متن کاملEvidence for a Role of LPGAT1 in Influencing BMI and Percent Body Fat in Native Americans
OBJECTIVE A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was recently completed in 1120 Pima Indians to identify loci that influence BMI. Among the top 100 signals were three variants that mapped within the lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (LPGAT1) gene. LPGAT1 belongs to a large family of acyltransferases, which are involved in a variety of biological processes including pathways that regula...
