Findings from epidemiological studies over the past 30 years have shown that visceral
adipose tissue, accurately measured by CT or MRI, is an independent risk marker of …

Waist circumference is a simple, inexpensive method to measure abdominal obesity. CT and
MRI are reference methods for measuring VAT. Further studies are needed to establish the …

Obesity and cardiometabolic disease often, but not always, coincide. Distinguishing
subpopulations within which cardiometabolic risk diverges from the risk expected for a given …

Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with adverse health effects including
cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. We developed a dual‐energy X‐ray …

States, we acknowledge that specific groups make up a large or growing segment of the
population and also suffer disproportionately from obesity and CVD. Groups that are the …

BACKGROUND: The association between body mass index as a measure of obesity and
rectal cancer outcomes has been inconsistent. Radiologic measures of visceral adiposity …

Advances in the technological qualities of imaging modalities for assessing human body
composition have been stimulated by accumulating evidence that individual components of …

Dysregulation of the human's energy balance, mediated by non-performing endocrine
organs (liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, above all), can be related to human …

Objective This meta‐analysis aimed to assess the agreement between intra‐abdominal
adipose tissue (IAAT) quantified by alternative methods and the reference standards …

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the association between visceral fat area (VFA)
on CT and postoperative complications after primary surgery in patients with Crohn's …
