Implication

Intra-abdominal fat may correlate with cholesterol independent of weight in primates; hypothesis-generating and should not change human practice.

Structured PICO

P
Population
44 male non-human primates (Macaca fascicularis / cynomolgus monkeys)
I
Intervention
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and somatometry
O
Outcome
Intra-abdominal, subcutaneous, and total abdominal fat distribution and correlation with metabolic parameterssurrogate

MRI reveals significant heterogeneity in intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat distribution among primates with similar body weights, and intra-abdominal fat correlates with total cholesterol.
