The validity of the visceral fat evaluation based on B-mode ultrasonography was tested on 30 healthy young women (mean age 19.6 years). The mass of visceral fat (VFM) was estimated by subtracting the subcutaneous fat mass (SFM) from the total body fat mass. The SFM was calculated as the sum of segmental subcutaneous fat mass determined from the surface area and mean thickness of adipose tissue in six body segments (face and neck, upper arm, forearm, thigh, lower leg, and trunk). Reproducibility of the determination of VFM by the repeated measures of SFM and total fat mass was sufficiently high with the difference of 5.0%. Serial cross-sectional areas of visceral adipose tissue (VATarea) were measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at three different positions of the trunk (at umbilicus and at 3.5 cm upper and lower positions). The VFM correlated significantly to each VATarea (r = 0.75 to r = 0.78, P < 0.01). The present findings suggest that the VFM can be determined with the use of B-mode ultrasonography for the clinical assessment and field surveys.
在30名健康年轻女性（平均年龄19.6岁）中测试了基于B型超声的内脏脂肪评估的有效性。通过从全身脂肪量中减去皮下脂肪量（SFM）来估算内脏脂肪量（VFM）。SFM计算为六个身体部位（面部和颈部、上臂、前臂、大腿、小腿和躯干）的脂肪组织表面积和平均厚度所确定的各部位皮下脂肪量之和。通过重复测量SFM和总脂肪量来测定VFM的重现性足够高，差异为5.0%。通过磁共振成像（MRI）在躯干的三个不同位置（脐部以及脐部上方和下方3.5厘米处）测量内脏脂肪组织的连续横截面积（VATarea）。VFM与每个VATarea显著相关（r = 0.75至r = 0.78，P < 0.01）。目前的研究结果表明，VFM可以通过使用B型超声来确定，用于临床评估和现场调查。
