Visceral adiposity syndrome
The association of anthropometric (waist circumference) and hemodynamic (blood pressure) changes with abnormalities in glucose and lipid metabolism has been motivation for a lot of discussions in the last 30 years. Nowadays, blood pressure, body mass index/abdominal circumference, glycemia, triglyceridemia, and HDL-cholesterol concentrations are considered in the definition of Metabolic syndrom...
متن کاملVisceral adiposity and the prevalence of hypertension in Japanese Americans.
BACKGROUND Visceral adiposity is generally considered to play a key role in the metabolic syndrome, including hypertension. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cross-sectionally whether visceral adiposity is associated with prevalence of hypertension independent of other adipose depots and fasting plasma insulin. METHODS AND RESULTS Study subjects included 563 Japanese Americans with no...
متن کاملPredicting Total, Abdominal, Visceral and Hepatic Adiposity with Circulating Biomarkers in Caucasian and Japanese American Women
BACKGROUND Characterization of abdominal and intra-abdominal fat requires imaging, and thus is not feasible in large epidemiologic studies. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether biomarkers may complement anthropometry (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], and waist-hip ratio [WHR]) in predicting the size of the body fat compartments by analyzing blood biomarkers, including adipocytoki...
متن کاملFactors of the insulin resistance syndrome in nondiabetic and diabetic elderly Japanese-American men.
Factor analysis has previously identified four independent factors that characterize the insulin resistance syndrome in women, interpreted as 1) weight/waist, 2) lipids, 3) insulin/glucose, and 4) systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Because it is not known whether similar factors emerge for men, or for diabetics, factor analysis was used to investigate the clustering of features characterizi...
متن کاملVisceral Adiposity Index
OBJECTIVE To individuate a novel sex-specific index, based on waist circumference, BMI, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol, indirectly expressing visceral fat function. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Visceral adiposity index (VAI) was first modeled on 315 nonobese healthy subjects. Using two multiple logistic regression models, VAI was retrospectively validated in 1,498 primary care patients in ...
