Predictive models for estimating visceral fat: The contribution from anthropometric parameters
BACKGROUND Excessive adipose visceral tissue (AVT) represents an independent risk factor for cardiometabolic alterations. The search continues for a highly valid marker for estimating visceral adiposity that is a simple and low cost tool able to screen individuals who are highly at risk of being viscerally obese. The aim of this study was to develop a predictive model for estimating AVT volume ...

متن کاملDevelopments in estimating visceral fat area from medical examination data.
AIM The aim of this study is to develop a simple method for estimating visceral fat area (VFA) using medical examination data. METHODS The study subjects were 100 males who had undergone medical examinations and computed tomography (CT) at the umbilicus level. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to estimate VFA. The Bland & Altman Method was used to examine the tendency for mean differ...
متن کاملAnthropometric parameters--predictive factors for cardio-metabolic diseases.
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate comparatively the predictive power of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), two anthropometric parameters used in daily practice, for detecting cardio-metabolic diseases, in a rural community in north-east Romania. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated 3248 persons, aged 19 or over, for whom we collected the following data: medical hi...
متن کاملPrediction of whole-body fat percentage and visceral adipose tissue mass from five anthropometric variables
BACKGROUND The conventional measurement of obesity utilises the body mass index (BMI) criterion. Although there are benefits to this method, there is concern that not all individuals at risk of obesity-associated medical conditions are being identified. Whole-body fat percentage (%FM), and specifically visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass, are correlated with and potentially implicated in disease...
