متن کاملRatio of visceral‐to‐subcutaneous fat area predicts cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes

متن کاملVisceral Fat Thickness Predicts Fatty Liver in Koreans with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Our aim was to study whether visceral adiposity is a predictor of diabetic fatty liver in Korean type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, abdominal ultrasonography was used to assess the presence of fatty liver in 1,898 patients with type 2 diabetes. We measured visceral fat thickness by high-resolutional ultrasonography and insulin resistance by Kitt. Half of the cohort had a fatty liver (50.2...
