“…The significance of hs-CRP with VFA deserves consideration. Report from Turkey ( 44 ) is consistent with ours. One mechanism for the elevation of hs-CRP in obese individuals might be associated with a high production of cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α by the excess adipose tissue, which would induce higher hs-CRP production by the liver ( 45 ).…”

Accumulation of visceral fat leads to metabolic syndrome and increases risks of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases, which should be recognized and improved at the early stage in general population. Accurate measurement of visceral fat area (VFA) is commonly performed by the abdominal cross-sectional image measured by computed tomography scan, which is, however, limited due to the radiation exposure. The bioelectrical impedance analysis (OMRON, HDS-2000 DUALSCANR) has been recently developed to measure VFA, which is more easily accessible modality. In the present study, we investigated the clinical usefulness of DUALSCANR in 226 subjects who received health examination, including blood chemistries, electrocardiography, cardio, and carotid ultrasonography. VFA was measured within only just 5 min. Average of VFA was 83.5 ± 36.3 cm2 in men, and 64.8 ± 28.0 cm2 in women, which was correlated to weight (r = 0.7404, p < 0.0001), body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.7320, p < 0.0001), and waist circumstance (r = 0.7393, p < 0.0001). In multivariate analyses, VFA was significantly associated with weight (p < 0.0001), BMI (p < 0.0001), and waist circumstance (p < 0.0001). Compared to the group of smaller waist and normal BMI, VFA was significantly increased (p < 0.0001) in the group of larger waist and obese subjects. In conclusion, these results indicated that DUALSCANR is useful to measure VFA easily in general population, even in a large number of subjects.

“…hs-CRP and PAI-1 level and contribute to liver health in humans. 37,38 In agreement with Yamauchi et al 39 , we noted a positive relationship between fat distribution in both arms and ED intake, which may be attributable to the relatively lower muscle content compared with the lower limbs. Further, greater fat distribution in the lower limbs in women may be related to hormonal interventions/imbalances in obese women.…”

“…34,35 Many studies have suggested that TGF-beta can play a role in loss of bone mineral density by impacting osteoblasts. 36 Aydin et al 37 showed that blood hs-CRP levels and BC (VFA, TBF, and total muscle mass) increasingly align, especially in the woman. Contrasting to Western/high-fat diets, plantbased and Mediterranean-style diets, which contain more fruits and vegetables and less high ED foods, have been shown to decrease…”

Aims: Energy density (ED) is known to influence body composition (BC). Indeed, consumption of high ED foods can increase body fat mass (BFM) and inflammatory markers. We sought to assess the mediatory role of high-sensitive-C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), transforming growth factorβ (TGF-beta), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) on the relationship between ED and BC in women with overweight/ obesity.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study consisting of 391 women. Body composition (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) and a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess the BC and food intake of individuals. Blood samples and serum level of hs-CRP, PAI-1, and TGFβ were collected. ED per one gram of foods was calculated and divided to quartiles. Linear logistic regression was used to investigate the association between BC across quartiles of ED intake.Results: Total body water (TBW), fat free mass (FFM), visceral fat area (VFA), and fat free mass index (FFMI) appeared to be mediated by hs-CRP across ED quartiles. TBW, FFM with PAI-1, bone mineral content (BMC) with PAI-1 and TGF-beta, and skeletal lean mass (SLM) were inversely associated with hs-CRP, respectively. Fat trunk, TBW, BFM, FFM, SLM, waist circumference (WC), FFMI, and FMI were positively mediated by TGF-beta with increasing ED food intakes. Fat trunk, BFM, SLM, WC, FFMI and FMI were positively mediated by PAI-1.Conclusions: Most BC subcategories were positively associated with higher ED intake, mediated by increasing serum levels of PAI-1 and TGF-beta. Moreover, higher serum hs-CRP levels may be related to body fat and water alteration concomitant to a higher ED intake.

“…Previously, Aydin M et al reported that visceral fat estimated by bioelectrical impedance was significantly associated with low-grade systemic inflammation in Turkish adults [23]. Bioelectrical impedance is a validated unbiased method to estimate body composition, and an OMRON monitor fitted with 8 sensors at hands and feet for accurate measurement of whole-body electrical impedance, identical to that used for this study, was previously shown to have excellent correlation with both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for estimating fat mass (r = 96%) and visceral fat (r = 92%), respectively [19].…”

BackgroundWaist circumference threshold values used in sub-Saharan Africa correspond to those of European populations and are therefore inappropriate. Thus, they may over predict insulin resistance, especially in hypertensive Africans, in whom there is often no association between blood pressure and insulin resistance. Using bioelectrical impedance measurement in sub-Saharan Africa could possibly be advantageous to overcome the shortcomings of waist circumference measurement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of body composition estimation by bioelectrical impedance to predict cardiometabolic risk in Congolese hypertensive subjects.MethodsCardiovascular profiling and body composition analysis by bioelectrical impedance was measured in 400 patients (men = 40%; age = 51.1 ± 12.6 years). Patients were diagnosed with a metabolic syndrome (MS) according to the IDF Criteria with and without the “blood pressure” criterion to remove any confounding autocorrelation bias, a visceral fat-MS (with and without the “blood pressure” criterion) being defined by the presence of ≥ 2 criteria with the precondition of excess visceral fat defined by a bio impedance measurement score >10/30. Total cardiovascular risk was assessed using the criteria of Framingham-2008.ResultsThe frequencies of enlarged waist circumference (71.9% vs 68.9%, p = 0.52) and IDF-MS without blood pressure criterion (24.9% vs 21.9%, p = 0.48) were similar among hypertensive vs. non hypertensive however excess visceral fat (57.6% vs 33.8%, p <0.0001) as well as visceral fat-MS without blood pressure criterion (18.9% vs 11.3%, p = 0.04) were more prevalent among hypertensive. Finally, total cardiovascular risk as well as arterial hypertension risk were associated with visceral fat, but not with waist circumference (p > 0.05).ConclusionsPending the determination of thresholds values for pathological waist circumference adapted to sub-Saharan populations, using bioelectrical impedance measurement may contribute to better characterize the cardiometabolic risk and the insulin resistant phenotype of hypertensive sub-Saharan Africans.
