Structured PICO

Population

25 male Japanese nationals, 19 to 67 years old (mean age 32.2), including 13 obese patients (mean BMI 28.6) and 12 non-obese volunteers (BMI 21-28).

Outcome

Correlation of regional fat areas (abdominal visceral, abdominal subcutaneous, thigh visceral, thigh subcutaneous) to serum lipids, glucose metabolic parameters, and blood pressuresurrogate

Regional fat distribution, particularly abdominal visceral fat and thigh muscle area, is heterogeneously associated with lipid and glucose metabolism and blood pressure in males.

Limitations

Unable to differentiate between adipose tissues with respect to increases in the amount of fat per unit of tissue
Unable to measure changes in the amount of lean or fat free tissue

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Regional body composition may link to BP and metabolism in males but should not change practice; leaves open causality and clinical relevance.
