“…The BMI of the diabetic women was signifi cantly known as central or visceral obesity, was more closely related to T2DM than the general obesity, as visceral fat was more metabolically active and produced more insulin resistance. [6][7][8][9] Similar data we observed in Bulgarian women aged 40-60 with a diagnosis of T2DM. The values of the '% fat higher than that of the healthy controls (p<0.001) ( Table 3).…”

Background: The complex study of adipose tissue in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is of importance for the clinical course and prognosis of the disease. Aim: To study the distribution of adipose tissue in Bulgarian females with T2DM. Patients and methods: The study included 92 women with T2DM (age range 40-60 years). The control group consisted of 40 age-matched women. Measurement parameters: height, weight, 9 skinfolds (sf) – sfTriceps, sfBiceps brachii, sfForearm, sfSubscapular, sfXrib, sfAbdomen, sfSuprailiaca, sfThigh, and sfCalf; bioelectrical impedance analysis - % body fat tissue and visceral fat tissue. Calculated indexes: body mass index (BMI), the ratio sfTrunk to sfLimbs, the ratio skin folds upper half of body/skin folds lower half of body, fat mass and subcutaneous fat mass. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the means of sfTriceps, sfXrib, sfThigh, sfCalf, % body fat tissue, visceral fat tissue, and fat mass and subcutaneous fat mass between the diabetic and healthy women. The body composition of diabetic females aged 40-60 years contained a larger adipose component than controls. Visceral adipose tissue which determines the body composition is a reliable indicator of the health risks in diabetic women. Conclusion: The pattern of subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution in diabetic females aged 40-60 yrs was primarily in the upper torso region and less so in the limbs. In the controls adipose tissue is accumulated primarily in the limbs and in the lower part of the body.

“…It has been found that abdominal obesity, also known as central or visceral obesity, was more closely related to T2DM than the general obesity. The visceral fat is more metabolically active and produces more insulin resistance [6,7,8,9]. Similar data were observed in Bulgarian men aged 60-80, with a diagnosis T2DM.…”

Background: Diabetes is becoming a rapidly growing health concern across the world due to rapidly growing number of patients. Obesity and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are closely related.The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of adipose connective tissue in elderly Bulgarian male patients with T2DM.Patients and Methods: Subjects of the research were 97 men suffering from T2DM, with age range 60-80 years. The control group included 40 Bulgarian healthy men in the same age range. Directly measured parameters: body height, body weight, 9 skinfolds (sf) and Bioelectrical Impedance analysis. Calculated indexes: Body mass index (BMI), the ratio sfTrunk/sfLimbs, the ratio skin folds upper half of body/skin folds lower half of body, fat mass and subcutaneous fat mass.Results: Statistically significant differences were found among the means of body weight, sfXrib, sfThigh, BMI, % body fat tissue, visceral fat tissue, fat mass and subcutaneous fat mass between the diabetic and healthy men. The body composition of elderly male patients with diabetes contained a significant larger adipose component than the controls. The well expressed visceral adipose tissue which determines the body composition is a reliable indicator of the health risks in elderly patients with T2DM. Conclusion:In male patients with T2DM aged 60-80 years the model of subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution was predominant in the upper torso region and less in the limbs. The common fat tissue and visceral adipose tissue in male patients were significantly more expressed than the healthy controls. These data revealed a worse anthropological status of the body composition in male patients with T2DM.
