Implication
May support ethnicity-specific adipose thresholds for CV risk screening in Asian Indians; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Structured PICO
What are the MRI-derived cutoffs of abdominal adipose tissue compartments for detecting cardiovascular risk factors in healthy adult Asian Indians?
P
Population
100 healthy adult Asian Indians in North India
I
Intervention
Measurement of abdominal adipose tissue depots (total abdominal adipose tissue [TAAT], intraabdominal adipose tissue [IAAT], and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue [SCAT]) using single slice magnetic resonance imaging
O
Outcome
Cutoffs of TAAT, IAAT, and SCAT for detecting the presence of greater than one cardiovascular risk factorsurrogate
MRI-derived cutoffs for abdominal adipose tissue compartments were established for Asian Indians, which may aid in metabolic research and assessing cardiovascular risk.
