A genomewide linkage scan for abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat in black and white families: The HERITAGE Family Study.
Abdominal visceral fat (AVF), abdominal subcutaneous fat (ASF), and abdominal total fat (ATF) were measured using a computed tomography scan, both before (baseline) and after (post) a 20-week endurance exercise training protocol in the HERITAGE Family Study. Each of the baseline and response (post minus baseline) measures was adjusted for several covariates, including total fat mass, and respon...
متن کاملFamilial Resemblance for Loneliness
Social isolation and loneliness in humans have been associated with physical and psychological morbidity, as well as mortality. This study aimed to assess the etiology of individual differences in feelings of loneliness. The genetic architecture of loneliness was explored in an extended twin-family design including 8,683 twins, siblings and parents from 3,911 families. In addition, 917 spouses ...
متن کاملToxic ‘‘Waist’’ Dump: Our Abdominal Visceral Fat
M ore than 50 years ago, a French physician, Dr. Jean Vague, noted that complications in his obese patients had more to do with where the fat was deposited than how much was deposited (1). Dr. Vague is credited with developing the terms ‘‘android’’ and ‘‘gynoid’’ obesity. Android is the high-risk type of obesity typically found in males, where the fat is deposited centrally (apple shape). Gynoi...
متن کاملEvidence of LPL gene-exercise interaction for body fat and LPL activity: the HERITAGE Family Study.
Evidence of a gene-exercise interaction for traits related to body composition is limited. Here, the association between the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) S447X polymorphism and changes in body mass index, fat mass, percent body fat, abdominal visceral fat measured by computed tomography, and post-heparin plasma LPL activity in response to 20 wk of endurance training was investigated in 741 adult wh...
متن کاملAssociation of pericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and visceral abdominal fat with cardiovascular disease burden: the Framingham Heart Study.
AIMS The aim of this study was to assess whether pericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and visceral abdominal adipose tissue (VAT) are associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS AND RESULTS Participants from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort underwent abdominal and chest multidetector computed tomography to quantify volumes of pericardial fat, intrathoraci...
