Changes in adipose tissue distribution as defined by the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), were evaluated in 16 android, obese subjects (seven male and nine female) given a very low energy ketogenic diet of 1.72 MJ (411 kcal) for 4 weeks. Total weight loss was significantly greater for the males (11.2 +/- 2.5 kg) compared to females (8.3 +/- 0.8 kg); the relative weight loss however, was similar (9.9 vs 9.3 percent). Female and male losses in percent body fat and lean body mass were not significantly different. For both groups, significant (P less than 0.01) changes in waist and hip circumferences were observed; however, no significant changes were observed in WHR. These results indicate that in obese android male and female subjects, adipose tissue distribution as measured by WHR, does not change in response to rapid weight loss.
在16名向心性肥胖的肥胖受试者(7名男性和9名女性)中,评估了以腰臀比(WHR)定义的脂肪组织分布变化。这些受试者接受了为期4周的极低能量生酮饮食,能量为1.72兆焦耳(411千卡)。男性的总体重减轻(11.2±2.5千克)明显大于女性(8.3±0.8千克);然而,相对体重减轻相似(9.9%对9.3%)。女性和男性的体脂百分比和去脂体重减轻没有显著差异。两组的腰围和臀围均有显著(P<0.01)变化;然而,未观察到WHR有显著变化。这些结果表明,在肥胖的向心性肥胖男性和女性受试者中,以WHR衡量的脂肪组织分布不会因快速体重减轻而改变。
