Abstract

Diagnostic efficiency of anthropometric parameters in the detection of obesity, with special regard to visceral adiposity and certain cardiovascular risk factors. The visceral adipose tissue carries greater risk of developing cardio-metabolic disorders than subcutaneous adipose tissue or whole-body obesity. Estimating fat distribution and intra-abdominal fat accumulation could be more useful to predict the risk of cardio-vascular and metabolic diseases than whole body fat. The indices and models to estimate the distribution and amount of adipose tissue, which are based on body measurements, do not distinguish visceral tissue from subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue. It is of high importance to validate the predictive accuracy of existing, indirect methods in relation to the accumulation and localization of adipose tissue and cardio-metabolic risk factors, and to develop new, inexpensive and reliable methods for clinical use. The main aims and questions were the followings: (1) To determine which anthropometric parameters have strong relation with visceral fat accumulation (VFA)? (2) To identify the anthropometric parameters having the best ability to estimate VFA. (3) To evaluate the relationships between changes in body fat content, VFA and anthropometric parameters. (4) How reliable are the investigated anthropometric parameters in the identification of cardiovascular risk factors?
