Effect of Body Mass Index and Intra-Abdominal Fat Measured by Computed Tomography on the Risk of Bowel Symptoms
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) or intra-abdominal fat measured by computed tomography (CT) and bowel symptoms. METHOD A cohort of 958 Japanese adults who underwent colonoscopy and CT and completed questionnaires after excluding colorectal diseases was analyzed. Six symptoms (constipation, diarrhea, loose stools, hard stools, fecal urgen...
متن کاملReproducibility of abdominal fat assessment by ultrasound and computed tomography
OBJECTIVE To test the accuracy and reproducibility of ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) for the quantification of abdominal fat in correlation with the anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical assessments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using ultrasound and CT, we determined the thickness of subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat in 101 subjects-of whom 39 (38.6%) were men and 62 (61.4%) were wom...
متن کاملAbdominal fat distribution measured using computed tomography is associated with an increased risk of colorectal adenoma in men
A few studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the association between the visceral fat proportion and colorectal adenomas. We aimed to investigate the association between abdominal fat distribution measured by computed tomography (CT) and colon adenoma.A total of 336 participants underwent physical examination, blood tests, colonoscopy, and abdominal computed tomography at Chung-Ang U...
متن کاملMeasurement of obesity by anthropometry and bioelectric impedance analysis: correlation with fasting lipids and insulin resistance in an Asian population.
Obesity is associated with increased coronary artery disease risk. This is at least partially mediated by increased prevalence of other risk factors such as dyslipidaemia and insulin resistance. Various anthropometric indices have been used to quantify generalised and central obesity. Correlations between these measurements and risk factors are specific to the population and findings cannot be ...
متن کاملComparison of Abdominal Visceral Adipose Tissue Area Measured by Computed Tomography with That Estimated by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Method in Korean Subjects
We evaluated the concordance between visceral fat area (VFA) estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or computed tomography (CT) in Korean subjects with a wide range in age and body mass index (BMI). In 1006 individuals (mean age 55.2 ± 11.8 (19-87) years, mean BMI 26.0 ± 3.5 (17-46) kg/m², 48.9% men), VFA quantified by CT was compared with VFA using multifrequency BIA machines with...
