The aim of the present study was to compare the total body fat mass and the intra-abdominal adipose tissue between preterm infants assessed at term corrected age and full-term newborns.
An observational explorative study was conducted. 25 preterm and 10 full term infants were evaluated at 0-1 month of corrected and postnatal age, respectively. The total body fat mass was assessed by means of an air displacement plethysmography system (Pea Pod COSMED, USA) and the intra-abdominal adipose tissue by means of magnetic resonance imaging (software program SliceOMatic, Version 4.3,Tomovision, Canada).
Total body fat mass (g) of preterm and term infants was 633 (+/- 183) and 538 (+/- 203) respectively while intra-abdominal fat mass (g) was 14.2 (+/- 4.9) and 19.9 (+/- 11.4).
Preterm infants, although exhibiting a total body fat mass higher than full term infants, do not show an increased intra-abdominal adipose tissue.
本研究旨在比较足月矫正年龄时评估的早产儿与足月新生儿的全身脂肪量和腹内脂肪组织。
进行了一项观察性探索性研究。分别在矫正年龄0 - 1个月和出生后0 - 1个月对25名早产儿和10名足月儿进行评估。通过空气置换体积描记系统（美国COSMED公司的Pea Pod）评估全身脂肪量，通过磁共振成像（加拿大Tomovision公司的SliceOMatic软件程序，版本4.3）评估腹内脂肪组织。
早产儿和足月儿的全身脂肪量（克）分别为633（±183）和538（±203），而腹内脂肪量（克）分别为14.2（±4.9）和19.9（±11.4）。
早产儿虽然全身脂肪量高于足月儿，但腹内脂肪组织并未增加。
