Key result
Renal sinus fat was positively associated with diastolic blood pressure in African American adults, though not independent of age and sex, and with intraabdominal fat in European American adults.
Why the study?
Renal sinus fat was shown to be associated with visceral adiposity and hypertension in predominantly white populations, prompting investigation in a cohort of African American and European American adults.

Is renal sinus fat associated with blood pressure and ectopic fat in African American and European American adults?
Renal sinus fat exhibits differential associations with age, insulin sensitivity, and adipose depots among African American and European American adults, suggesting unique pathophysiological mechanisms.
Couch et al. (2022) reported a cross-sectional. Renal sinus fat was evaluated on Blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and ectopic fat depots. Renal sinus fat was positively associated with diastolic blood pressure in African American adults, though not independent of age and sex, and with intraabdominal fat in European American adults.
