Other imaging techniques to quantify internal-abdominal adiposity (IA-AT) and subcutaneous-abdominal adiposity (SCA-AT) are frequently impractical in infants. The aim of this study was twofold: (a) to validate ultrasound (US) visceral and subcutaneous-abdominal depths in assessing IA-AT and SCA-AT from MRI as the reference method in infants and (b) to analyze the association between US abdomina...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main source(s): Canadian Institutes Health Research. Background/Introduction Excessive epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with worse exercise capacity and thought to play a role in the pathophysiology heart failure preserved ejection fraction. Few studies have explored relationship betw...

BACKGROUND Estradiol, testosterone (T), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels are associated with lipid subfractions in men and women. Our objective was to determine if associations are independent from adipose tissue area among Asian Indians. METHODS We used data from 42 women and 57 Asian Indian men who did not use exogenous steroids or lipid-lowering medications. Lipoprotein subfr...

Nowadays, obesity is seriously increasing in most of the populations all over the world, and is associated with the development and progression of high-mortality diseases such as type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its subsequent cardiovascular pathologies. Recent data suggest that both body fat distribution and adipocyte phenotype, can be more determinant for fatal outcomes in obese patients t...

Mobile health and family consulting services aims to provide public health-related for free as a data collection tool formulate policies related efforts improve health. Service activities were carried out at various locations in Bogor City by collecting the form of age, weight, height, percent body fat, visceral fat. Data collected period March 2015 2020 (n = 3,482) showed that almost half subj...

Visceral adiposity is much more strongly associated with cardiometabolic disease in humans than subcutaneous adiposity. Browning, the appearance of brown-like adipocytes in the white adipose tissue (WAT), has been shown to protect mice against metabolic dysfunction, suggesting the possibility of new therapeutic approaches to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. In mice, subcutaneous WAT depots ex...

The metabolic syndrome represents a constellation of co-morbidities that include central adiposity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension, which results from an elevated prevalence of obesity. An increased abdominal adiposity is observed in upper-body obesity with preferential accumulation of fat in the visceral depot, which renders these individuals more prone to metabolic and card...

Visceral adipose dysfunction is a major cause of metabolic disorders. However, there is lack of a clinical index for prediction of visceral fat dysfunction in Asians. The present study aims to establish a visceral adiposity index for evaluation of metabolic health status in Chinese, the largest Asian ethnic group. 485 subjects were recruited from Lianqian Community, Xiamen and received abdomina...

Visceral obesity is strongly associated with insulin resistance. One potential cause is increased availability of FFA. Alternatively, it has been proposed that there is impaired oxidation of lipid in individuals at risk for obesity. The extent to which either concept involves skeletal muscle is uncertain. To examine these opposing hypotheses, 17 healthy lean and obese premenopausal women, among...
