Relationships between body roundness with body fat and visceral adipose tissue emerging from a new geometrical model
OBJECTIVE To develop a new geometrical index that combines height, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC) and relate this index to total and visceral body fat. DESIGN AND METHODS Subject data were pooled from three databases that contained demographic, anthropometric, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measured fat mass, and magnetic resonance imaging measured visceral adipo...
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...
متن کاملAssessment of body fat in the pony: part I. Relationships between the anatomical distribution of adipose tissue, body composition and body condition.
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Evaluation of equine body fat content is important for nutritional and clinical purposes. However, our understanding of total body fat and its regional distribution in the body is sparse. Currently, body fat evaluation relies on the subjective assessment of body condition score (BCS), which has never been validated against 'gold standard' chemical analysis or dissec...
متن کاملBody circumferences: clinical implications emerging from a new geometric model
BACKGROUND Body volume expands with the positive energy balance associated with the development of adult human obesity and this "growth" is captured by two widely used clinical metrics, waist circumference and body mass index (BMI). Empirical correlations between circumferences, BMI, and related body compartments are frequently reported but fail to provide an important common conceptual foundat...
متن کاملAdipose-Tissue and Intestinal Inflammation – Visceral Obesity and Creeping Fat
Obesity has become one of the main threats to health worldwide and therefore gained increasing clinical and economic significance as well as scientific attention. General adipose-tissue accumulation in obesity is associated with systemically increased pro-inflammatory mediators and humoral and cellular changes within this compartment. These adipose-tissue changes and their systemic consequences...
