Increased visceral fat is associated with an increased mortality rate. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive method to assess visceral fat that is easily accessible and avoids exposure to radiation. It is unknown how a visceral fat rating from a noninvasive machine correlates with the serum lipid profile and fasting blood sugar (FBS). The aim of this research is to study the correlation of the visceral fat rating obtained by a noninvasive method with the serum lipid profile and FBS. This cross-sectional study involved 90 obese adults, ranging in age from 18 to 60 years old. The visceral fat rating was measured by BIA. The results demonstrated that significant positive correlations were found between the serum triglycerides and visceral fat rating ( = 0.287, = 0.006) and between the FBS and visceral fat rating ( = 0.210, = 0.047). There was a negative correlation between the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and visceral fat rating ( = -0.322, = 0.002). In conclusion, statistically significant positive correlations were found between the serum triglycerides and visceral fat rating and between the FBS and visceral fat rating, and a negative correlation was found between the serum HDL-cholesterol and visceral fat rating.
内脏脂肪增加与死亡率上升相关。生物电阻抗分析（BIA）是一种评估内脏脂肪的非侵入性方法，操作简便且无需暴露于辐射。目前尚不清楚通过非侵入性仪器得出的内脏脂肪评级与血脂谱及空腹血糖（FBS）之间的关联。本研究旨在探讨通过非侵入性方法获得的内脏脂肪评级与血脂谱及FBS之间的相关性。这项横断面研究纳入了90名年龄在18至60岁之间的肥胖成年人。通过BIA测量内脏脂肪评级。结果表明，血清甘油三酯与内脏脂肪评级之间存在显著正相关（= 0.287，= 0.006），FBS与内脏脂肪评级之间也存在显著正相关（= 0.210，= 0.047）。血清高密度脂蛋白（HDL）胆固醇与内脏脂肪评级之间存在负相关（= -0.322，= 0.002）。总之，血清甘油三酯与内脏脂肪评级之间、FBS与内脏脂肪评级之间存在统计学显著正相关，血清HDL胆固醇与内脏脂肪评级之间存在负相关。
