Obesity management is a critical global issue. It is essential to evaluate visceral adiposity which is associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
This study aims at precisely evaluating the necessity of visceral adipose tissue in obesity management.
We assessed the validity of visceral fat area (VFA) measurement using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) with computed tomography (CT) as a reference in obese subjects. Although VFABIA exhibited significant correlation with VFACT, the difference between VFACT and VFABIA increased with an advancing degree of obesity.
The BIA device seemingly underestimated VFA in obese subjects compared with the normal-weight subjects.
肥胖管理是一个关键的全球性问题。评估与代谢综合征和心血管疾病相关的内脏脂肪至关重要。
本研究旨在精确评估内脏脂肪组织在肥胖管理中的必要性。
我们以计算机断层扫描（CT）为参照，评估了生物电阻抗分析（BIA）测量肥胖受试者内脏脂肪面积（VFA）的有效性。尽管VFA BIA与VFA CT表现出显著相关性，但随着肥胖程度的增加，VFA CT与VFA BIA之间的差异也在增大。
与体重正常的受试者相比，BIA设备似乎低估了肥胖受试者的VFA。
