Regional distribution of body fat, plasma lipoproteins, and cardiovascular disease.
Several epidemiological studies have reported that the regional distribution of body fat is a significant and independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related mortality. Although these associations are well established, the causal mechanisms are not fully understood. Numerous studies have, however, shown that specific topographic features of adipose tissue are associated wit...

متن کاملBody fat distribution, plasma lipids, and lipoproteins.
The relation of body fat distribution as measured by the ratio of waist to hip circumferences (WHR) to plasma levels of lipids and lipoproteins was studied in 713 men and 520 women who were employed by two Milwaukee companies. Quetelet index (kg/m2), waist girth, hip girth, and WHR were each positively related to levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, and the ratio of tot...
متن کاملBody fat distribution and risk of cardiovascular disease: an update.
Epidemiological, clinical, and mechanistic preclinical studies conducted in the field of cardiovascular medicine have led to remarkable progress in our understanding of nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). For instance, although the prevalence of CVD had reached devastating levels in the 1950s, proper focus on the major CVD risk factors first identified at...
متن کاملSequential changes in plasma lipoproteins and body fat composition during polyunsaturated fat feeding in man.
1. The early effects of a moderate polyunsaturated fat diet on the composition of circulating lipoproteins and adipose tissue fatty acids were measured in five healthy adults. 2. The fatty acid content and gross composition of the three major plasma lipoprotein fractions altered within 7 d of treatment. The response of depot fat was slower but did show a significant and progressive change after...
