Abdominal obesity: a marker of ectopic fat accumulation.
In the early 1980s, we analyzed the metabolic profile of 930 men and women and concluded that an abdominal distribution of fat for a given BMI is associated with increased insulin resistance and risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The correlation between abdominal fat and metabolic dysfunction has since been validated in many studies, and waist circumference is now a ...
متن کاملAssessment of abdominal fat compartments using DXA in premenopausal women from anorexia nervosa to morbid obesity
OBJECTIVE To test a newly developed dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method for abdominal fat depot quantification in subjects with anorexia nervosa (AN), normal weight, and obesity using CT as a gold standard. DESIGN AND METHODS 135 premenopausal women (overweight/obese: n = 89, normal-weight: n = 27, AN: n = 19); abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SA...
متن کاملInsulin resistance in morbid obesity: reversal with intramyocellular fat depletion.
Obesity is a frequent cause of insulin resistance and poses a major risk for diabetes. Abnormal fat deposition within skeletal muscle has been identified as a mechanism of obesity-associated insulin resistance. We tested the hypothesis that dietary lipid deprivation may selectively deplete intramyocellular lipids, thereby reversing insulin resistance. Whole-body insulin sensitivity (by the insu...
متن کاملPsychometric Properties of Quality of Life Assessment Tools in Morbid Obesity: A Review of Literature
Background: Since studies have demonstrated that morbid obesity can exponentially impair quality of life, the measurement of quality of life is paramount to monitoring the effects of treatment and influences the development of clinical pathways, service provision, healthcare expenditures, and public health policy. Accordingly, clinicians, researchers, and policy makers must rely on valid instru...
متن کاملDefiniiion of Morbid Obesity
Vertical banded gastroplasty has replaced jejunoileal bypass in the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. Although this procedure carries a low incidence of early postoperative complications there is little information on either longer term follow up or the impact on nutritional status. The present study describes the outcome in 42 patients with morbid obesity who underwent vertical banded gast...
