정상 체중 성인에서 혈중 지질치와 복부내장 지방량과의 상관성 연구

Abstract

This study was carried out to assess the degree of association of abdominal visceral fat amount with serum lipid levels and to determine which anthropometric measures of obesity are most closely associated with cardiovascular risk factors in normoweight adults. 60 normoweight subjects were included for this study. The data gathered by healthy adults for periodic health examination in Dongsan Medical Center, Taegu, Korea. They were normal body weight(BMI;18.5-24.9 kg/m2) and no history of hypothyroidism, corticosteroid users, and recent weight loss. Serum total cholesterol, triglycerids, HDL cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, waist, and waist-hip ratio were measured. Single slice CT scan was used to quantify fat deposit in visceral and subcutaneous area at the level of L4-5. Measurement for total fat amount was used to body impedance analysis method. Total body fat %, waist, and Waist-Hip ratio were significant difference on sex. Also, abdominal visceral fat area, abdominal subcutaneous fat area and abdominal visceral fat area-subcu-taneous fat area ratio(VSR) were significant difference. Independent predictor for visceral fat in male subjects was waist, and in female subjects were waist and total body fat %. Visceral fat amount seemed to play a critical role in association with cardiovascular risk factors rather than subcutaneous fat area. total body fat %, waist in normal body weight person.
