Key result
Increasing age in men is linked to higher visceral adipose tissue, leptin, MCP-1, and lower adiponectin.
Why the study?
The relationship of adipokines and abdominal fat distribution with aging in men required investigation.
Population
218 men aged 40-79 years from the PURE China CASH study subset
Comparison
Associations across age and VAT quartiles

Highlights potential cardiometabolic implications of aging-related adiposity changes in men; leaves open causality and intervention targets.
Cross-Sectional (n=218)
p-value: p=< 0.05
Aging in men is associated with increased visceral adiposity and an unfavorable adipokine profile, including decreased adiponectin and increased leptin.
Xu et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Aging (n=218). Aging and abdominal fat distribution was evaluated on Associations of adipokines and abdominal fat distribution with aging (p=< 0.05). Increasing age in men was significantly associated with increased visceral adipose tissue, leptin, and MCP-1, and decreased adiponectin (p < 0.05).
