Why the study?

Does measurement site influence the ranking and prediction of abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue mass in men?

Population

200 men (100 evaluated with computed tomography [CT] and 100 evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging [MRI])

Design

Cross-sectional

Authors

SLSoJung LeeUlsan College IJIan JanssenQueen's University RRRobert RossGeneral / Preventive / Lipids

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Site alters individual SAT/VAT rankings; supports comparable mass prediction at L3-L4/L4-L5 but leaves open clinical risk implications.

Structured PICO

Does measurement site influence the ranking and prediction of abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue mass in men?

Population

200 men (100 evaluated with computed tomography [CT] and 100 evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging [MRI])

Intervention

Measurement of abdominal subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue at different anatomical sites (L4-L5, L3-L4, and L4-L5 +5 cm)

Outcome

Influence of measurement site on the ranking (low to high) of abdominal SAT and VAT, and prediction of SAT and VAT masssurrogate

While measurement location alters the relative ranking of individuals' abdominal adipose tissue, single images at L4-L5, L3-L4, or L4-L5 +5 cm are comparable for predicting total SAT and VAT mass.
