Key result
The proportion of intra-abdominal adipose tissue was strongly inversely correlated with glucose disposal in black men with NIDDM (r = -0.78, P < 0.001).
Why the study?
Is the occurrence of insulin resistance in black men with NIDDM explained by the pattern of body adipose tissue distribution (intra-abdominal adiposity)?
Cross-Sectional (n=22)

Effect estimate: r = -0.78
p-value: p=< 0.001
In black men with NIDDM, insulin resistance is strongly associated with the proportion of intra-abdominal adipose tissue rather than total adiposity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Intra-abdominal adiposity may inform insulin resistance evaluation in black men with NIDDM; extends prior associations but remains hypothesis-generating.
Banerji et al. (1995) conducted a cross-sectional in Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (n=22). Intra-abdominal adipose tissue proportion was evaluated on Correlation between glucose disposal and proportion of total adipose tissue in the intra-abdominal region (r = -0.78, p=< 0.001). The proportion of intra-abdominal adipose tissue was strongly inversely correlated with glucose disposal in black men with NIDDM (r = -0.78, P < 0.001).
