The associations between the amount of abdominal adipose tissue (AT) measured by computed tomography (CT) or estimated with predictive equations and the amount of total body fat were compared in samples of 89 men and 75 women. After correction for total body fat mass, men had significantly higher values of visceral AT volume (P < 0.0001) and also higher abdominal visceral AT areas, measured by CT or estimated by predictive equations than women (P < 0.0001). In addition, an increase in total fat mass was associated with a significantly greater increase in visceral AT volume in men than in women (P < 0.0001). In conclusion, these results suggest that the greater health hazards associated with excess fatness in men than in women may be explained by the fact that premenopausal women can accumulate more body fat than men of the same age before reaching the amounts of visceral AT found in men.
在89名男性和75名女性样本中，比较了通过计算机断层扫描（CT）测量或用预测方程估算的腹部脂肪组织（AT）量与全身脂肪量之间的关联。在校正全身脂肪量后，男性的内脏AT体积值显著更高（P<0.0001），通过CT测量或用预测方程估算的腹部内脏AT面积也高于女性（P<0.0001）。此外，总脂肪量的增加与男性内脏AT体积的显著增加相关，且男性增加幅度大于女性（P<0.0001）。总之，这些结果表明，男性肥胖比女性肥胖相关的健康危害更大，这可能是因为绝经前女性在达到男性所见的内脏AT量之前，比同龄男性能积累更多的身体脂肪。
