Visceral adipose tissue, a potential risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis: results of the Multicultural Community Health Assessment Trial (M-CHAT).
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between abdominal obesity and atherosclerosis is believed to be due to excess visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which is associated with traditional risk factors. We hypothesized that VAT is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. METHODS Healthy men and women (N=794) matched for ethnicity (aboriginal, Chinese, European, and South Asian) and body ma...
متن کاملSerum Uric Acid as a Potential Concomitant with Carotid Atherosclerosis
Background: Common carotid intima-media thickness (CC-IMT) measured by ultrasonography as a non-invasive method is nowadays known as a marker for early atherosclerosis. Objectives: Survey the relationship between serum uric acid and carotid intima-media thickness considering hypertension. Materials and Methods: This study was designed as a comparative cross-sectional study in northern Ira...
متن کاملIncreased visceral adipose tissue rather than BMI as a risk factor for dementia.
In addition to the association between overweight/obesity and cardiovascular disorders, with the presence of a vascular burden as a cofactor, recent studies have particularly focused on the association between indicators of adiposity and dementia. Particularly, renewed predictive value has been addressed to body mass index (BMI). A high BMI can increase the risk for dementia when measured befor...
متن کاملPericardial adipose tissue determined by dual source CT is a risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVES Pericardial fat as a visceral fat depot may be involved in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis. To gain evidence for that concept we sought to investigate the relation of pericardial fat volumes to risk factors, serum adiponectin levels, inflammatory biomarkers, and the quantity and morphology of coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Using Dual source CT angiograph...
متن کاملIncreased Visceral Adipose Tissue as a Potential Risk Factor in Patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS)
PURPOSE The etiology of an ischemic stroke remains undetermined in 20-35% of cases and many patients do not have any of the conventional risk factors. Increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a suggested new risk factor for both carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAA) and atrial fibrillation (AF), but its role in the remaining stroke population is unknown. We assessed the amount of VAT in patien...
