“…This observation might be explained because high intake of dairy products may reflect a dietary pattern being associated with VAT, and a separation of effects on VAT accumulation in multivariable regression by adjusting for intake of other food groups might thus miss associations between dairy products and AT volume. In line with our findings, in two other cross-sectional studies, alcohol consumption was positively associated with VAT (38,39) . Our study, however, does not support the observed inverse association between alcohol intake and SAAT reported in one of the two studies on women (39) .…”

Association of food consumption with total volumes of visceral and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue in a Northern German population

et al. 2015

Excess accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a known risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases; further, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SAAT) and the ratio of both (VAT:SAAT ratio) have been discussed as potentially detrimental. Information about the association between diet and adipose tissue is scarce. This study aimed to identify food group intake associated with VAT and SAAT and the VAT:SAAT ratio in a Northern German population. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted in 344 men and 241 women who underwent an MRI to quantify total volumes of VAT and SAAT. Intake of fourteen food groups was assessed with a self-administered 112-item FFQ. Linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, energy intake, physical activity, intake of other food groups and mutual adjustment for VAT and SAAT were calculated to analyse the associations between standardised food group intake and VAT and SAAT, or the VAT:SAAT ratio. Intakes of potatoes (P = 0·043) and cakes (P = 0·003) were positively and inversely, respectively, associated with both VAT and SAAT. By contrast, intake of cereals was negatively associated with VAT (P = 0·045) only, whereas intakes of eggs (P = 0·006) and non-alcoholic beverages (P = 0·042) were positively associated with SAAT only. The association between eggs and non-alcoholic beverages with SAAT remained significant after further consideration of VAT. Intake of non-alcoholic beverages was also inversely associated with the VAT:SAAT ratio (P = 0·001). Our analysis adds to the evidence that intake of foods is independently associated with VAT or SAAT volumes.

“…The effect of alcohol on fat metabolism remains controversial. In a cross-sectional study of healthy South Korean men, Kim et al [15] reported that alcohol consumption showed a significant association with increased VFA, which was independent of other factors. On the other hand, Fan et al [16] have reported that current alcohol consumption was associated with a lower prevalence of MS, irrespective of alcohol intake, and alcohol consumption had a favorable influence on HDL-C and WC in a Shanghai study.…”

AIM:To investigate the clinical and biochemical factors associated with visceral fat accumulation in the general population. METHODS:We enrolled 1004 subjects who underwent a medical health checkup between April 2008 and March 2009. The medical health checkup included the following tests: Height, body weight, waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, urinalysis, blood-cell counts, blood chemistry, electrocardiography, chest radiography, and abdominal computed tomography (CT) for visceral fat accumulation. The patients' medical history and lifestyle factors were collected privately by nurses using a selfadministered questionnaire, and they included questions regarding physical activity, sleep duration, dietary habits, smoking, and alcohol consumption. visceral fat area (VFA) was defined as the sum of the intraperitoneal fat area at the level of the umbilicus with CT density in the range of -150 to -50 Hounsfield units. RESULTS:The mean age and body mass index (BMI) of the study subjects were 57.0 years and 24.4 kg/m 2 . In both male and females, vFA was significantly and Institutional review board statement: The study design was approved by the Ethics Committee of University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan.Informed consent statement: All subjects provided written informed consent for the use of their anonymized data for an epidemiological study. Conflict-of-interest statement:We have no conflict of interest. Data sharing statement: No additional data available.Open-Access: This article is an open-access article which was selected by an in-house editor and fully peer-reviewed by external reviewers.

See: http://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Retrospective study positively correlated with WC (r = 0.532, P < 0.01; r = 0.612, P < 0.01). Subjects with high levels of vFA were primarily male with significantly higher age, height, body weight, BMI, systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic BP, and hemoglobin in all subjects (P < 0.05).A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that vFA had a positive relationship with age ≥ 56, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 , and triglyceride level ≥ 149 in males (P < 0.05), whereas it had a positive relationship with age ≥ 58, BMI ≥ 24.4 kg/m 2 , high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level < 40 mg/dL, and current drinking in females (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:These results suggest that gender differences exist in the clinical and biochemical parameters associated with visceral fat accumulation.

“…43 Ethanol consumption has been identified as a risk factor for the deposition of abdominal or visceral adipose tissue. 44, 45, 46 Ethanol has been shown to suppress lipid oxidation, which results in the preferential deposition of nonoxidized lipids in the abdominal region. 47, 48 Our study suggests that CPEE alters lipid metabolism in offspring and causes increased adipocyte deposition in both the visceral and subcutaneous regions.…”

Chronic prenatal ethanol exposure increases adiposity and disrupts pancreatic morphology in adult guinea pig offspring

et al. 2012

Background:Ethanol consumption during pregnancy can lead to a range of adverse developmental outcomes in children, termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Central nervous system injury is a debilitating and widely studied manifestation of chronic prenatal ethanol exposure (CPEE). However, CPEE can also cause structural and functional deficits in metabolic pathways in offspring.Objectives and Methods:This study tested the hypothesis that CPEE increases whole-body adiposity and disrupts pancreatic structure in guinea pig offspring. Pregnant guinea pigs received ethanol (4 g kg−1 maternal body weight per day) or isocaloric-sucrose/pair-feeding (control) for 5 days per week throughout gestation.Results:Male and female CPEE offspring demonstrated growth restriction at birth, followed by a rapid period of catch-up growth before weaning (postnatal day (PD) 1–7). Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in young adult offspring (PD100–140) revealed increased visceral and subcutaneous adiposity produced by CPEE. At the time of killing (PD150–200), CPEE offspring also had increased pancreatic adipocyte area and decreased β-cell insulin-like immunopositive area, suggesting reduced insulin production and/or secretion from pancreatic islets.Conclusion:CPEE causes increased adiposity and pancreatic dysmorphology in offspring, which may signify increased risk for the development of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
