“…Regional adiposity can be assessed by using anthropometric data and imaging techniques [11,12]. Among imaging techniques, Ultrasonographic assessment has attracted a considerable attention, as it combines safety, cost-effectiveness, accuracy [13] and with effectiveness, in the quantification of visceral fat, similar to that of computed tomography [14].…”

Objective: To determine appropriate visceral fat cut-off values using ultrasound (USVF); for obesity according to existing waist circumference (WC), waist/hip ratio (WHR) and BMI cut-off levels.Methods: 998 Egyptian adults, aged 25-55 years, were studied in a cross-sectional survey for evaluation of "Visceral and Central Obesity as an Early Estimator for Obesity Health Risk". Results:Using WC as standard for classification of central obesity, cut-off points of USVF were found to be 6.5 cm for men and 5 cm for women; using ROC analysis; with 76 % sensitivity, 83% specificity, 1.06 PPV/NPV, and 81% accuracy for men, and with 77 % sensitivity, 76% specificity, 0.99 PPV/NPV, and 76% accuracy for women. Same cut-off points of USVF were detected using BMI as standard; with 71 % sensitivity, 77% specificity, 1.04 PPV/NPV, and 75% accuracy for men, and 74% sensitivity, 79% specificity, 1.03 PPV/NPV, and 77% accuracy for women. Even by using WHR as standard, these cut-offs increased 0.5 cm only for both men and women (7 and 5.5 cm respectively). Conclusion:The best cut-off points of visceral fat; using US in Egyptian adults; is 6.5 cm for men and 5 cm for women.

“…Visceral and subcutaneous adiposity measurements were performed according to Vlachos, Hatziioannou, Perelas, Perrea 31 , using a portable ultrasound device of the brand GE, model Logiq Book XP, for high-resolution ultrasonography, with 8 MHz linear transduction. The intra-observer coefficients for visceral and subcutaneous fat measures were 1.92% and .36%, respectively.…”

-Aim:To compare the anthropometric, metabolic, and inflammatory parameters of overweight adolescents after 12-weeks of resistance and aerobic training (CT), taking into account the Gln27Glu polymorphism of the β2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene. Methods: Forty-seven adolescents (15.05±1.07y) were assigned to one of four groups, according to the presence or absence of the Glu27 allele: CT (CarrierT n=11; NoncarrierT n=11) or control (CarrierC n=13; NoncarrierC n=12). Body composition, abdominal fat, maturation, fitness, metabolic and lipid profile, inflammatory markers were assessed. The CT consisted of six resistance exercises, followed by 30 min of walking/ running at 50-80% VO 2max , totaling 60 min/session, three times a week. A mixed-model factorial ANOVA was used to compare variables at baseline and after 12-weeks. Results: TC was effective in reducing total fat mass (NoncarrierT ES=.45, CarrierT ES=.27) and subcutaneous abdominal fat (NoncarrierT ES=.48, CarrierT ES=.46) and increasing lean mass (NoncarrierT ES=.58, CarrierT ES=.60) and fitness. CarrierT group showed a reduction in leptin (ES=.49). Conclusion:The responses of body composition and physical fitness to TC were not influenced by the presence of the Gln27Glu polymorphism. However, only the Glu27 allele carriers showed reductions in leptin after 12-weeks. Besides, a lack of intervention caused obesogenic effects, especially in Glu27carriers.

Sonographic Assessment of Regional Adiposity

Abstract: It is highly plausible that sonography will be used in clinical practice for the routine assessment of regional adiposity.
