There was a significant association between the abdominal fat distribution pattern and BMI, WC, WHtR, TG, LDL, HDL, total cholesterol, FBG, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome (p < 0.05), with group 1 (V(+)S(+)) being highly correlated with most metabolic factors.

Why the study?

The study was conducted to evaluate metabolic risk factors and diseases across different patterns of abdominal fat distribution.

Does the pattern of abdominal fat distribution assessed by CT-scan correlate with metabolic risk factors and diseases?

Population

180 individuals aged 15 to 65 years undergoing abdominal CT-scan

Comparison

Four abdominal fat distribution groups based on VFA and SFA

Design

Cross-sectional study

Overview

May support CT fat distribution for metabolic risk stratification; leaves open prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does the pattern of abdominal fat distribution assessed by CT-scan correlate with metabolic risk factors and diseases?

P
Population
180 individuals aged 15 to 65 years (mean age 50±14 years) who had no significant weight loss in the past year and were referred to the Radiology Department for an abdominal CT-scan.
I
Intervention
Stratification into four groups based on visceral and subcutaneous fat area (VFA and SFA) assessed by CT-scan at the umbilical level: group 1: V(+)S(+); group 2: V(+)S(-); group 3: V(-)S(+); group 4: V(-)S(-).
C
Comparator
Comparison among the four abdominal fat distribution groups.
O
Outcome
Association between abdominal fat distribution pattern and metabolic risk factors (BMI, WC, WHtR, WH, FBG, lipids profile, creatinine, liver enzymes, diabetes, metabolic syndrome).surrogate

Abdominal fat distribution patterns, particularly combined high visceral and subcutaneous fat, are significantly associated with metabolic risk factors, highlighting the utility of CT-assessed fat distribution in metabolic risk stratification.
