Ectopic fat accumulation in patients with COPD: an ECLIPSE substudy
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Obesity is increasingly associated with COPD, but little is known about the prevalence of ectopic fat accumulation in COPD and whether this can possibly be associated with poor clinical outcomes and comorbidities. The Evaluation of COPD Longitudinally to Identify Predictive Surrogate Endpoints (ECLIPSE) substudy tested the hypothesis that COPD is associated with increased ectopic fat accumulation and that this would be associated with COPD-related outcomes and comorbidities. METHODS Computed tomography (CT) images of the thorax obtained in ECLIPSE were used to quantify ectopic fat accumulation at L2-L3 (eg, cross-sectional area [CSA] of visceral adipose tissue [VAT] and muscle tissue [MT] attenuation, a reflection of muscle fat infiltration) and CSA of MT. A dose-response relationship between CSA of VAT, MT attenuation and CSA of MT and COPD-related outcomes (6-minute walking distance [6MWD], exacerbation rate, quality of life, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] decline) was addressed with the Cochran-Armitage trend test. Regression models were used to investigate possible relationships between CT body composition indices and comorbidities. RESULTS From the entire ECLIPSE cohort, we identified 585 subjects with valid CT images at L2-L3 to assess body composition. CSA of VAT was increased (P<0.0001) and MT attenuation was reduced (indicating more muscle fat accumulation) in patients with COPD (P<0.002). Progressively increasing CSA of VAT was not associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The probability of exhibiting low 6MWD and accelerated FEV1 decline increased with progressively decreasing MT attenuation and CSA of MT. In COPD, the probability of having diabetes (P=0.024) and gastroesophageal reflux (P=0.0048) at baseline increased in parallel with VAT accumulation, while the predicted MT attenuation increased the probability of cardiovascular comorbidities (P=0.042). Body composition parameters did not correlate with coronary artery scores or with survival. CONCLUSION Ectopic fat accumulation is increased in COPD, and this was associated with relevant clinical outcomes and comorbidities.

Background: Loss of body weight and depletion of muscle mass are common nutritional problems in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients . They are associated with increase disability, reduction of respiratory and skeletal muscle mass and strength, and these exert destructive effects on pulmonary function and quality of life in COPD patients. The aim of the current study was to a...

متن کاملExcessive visceral fat accumulation in advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested links between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, and abdominal obesity. Although abdominal visceral fat is thought to be associated with cardiovascular risk factors, the degree of visceral fat accumulation in patients with COPD has not been directly studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the abdominal visce...
متن کاملExercise for Hepatic Fat Accumulation in Type 2 Diabetic Subjects
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by frequent ectopic fat accumulation in several tissues and organs. In particular, a number of studies showed that these subjects frequently have hepatic fat accumulation, which may play a role in the metabolic abnormalities typical of diabetes and has been also linked to increased risk for cardiovascular disease. In the last decade, the effect of exercise on ec...
متن کاملContinuous fat-free mass decline in COPD: fact or fiction?
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) generally have lower fat-free mass (a surrogate marker of skeletal muscle mass) compared with their healthy peers [1, 2], and this is associated with decreased functional capacity [3], the presence of other comorbidities (e.g. osteoporosis and renal impairment) [4] and increased mortality risk [5]. To date, longitudinal observational st...
