  • Regarding the body fat topography, most showed higher concentration of fat in the thigh, and smaller deposits in the biceps region. (bvsalud.org)
  • There are fewer methods for estimating body fat in children and adolescents compared to the number of existing methods for adults, since ethical issues prevent the use of certain methods with this population. (bvsalud.org)
Cardiovascular3
  • Both visceral fat and subcutaneous fat are associated with adverse cardiovascular risk factors, but visceral fat deposition is more threatening. (drtrust360.com)
  • While subcutaneous fat, unlike visceral fat, is not considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, it is known that a deficiency of one of sunlight's best known beneficial byproducts, vitamin D , is associated with greater visceral fat. (nutritruth.org)
  • If LAP is better correlated than BMI with cardiovascular risk factors, this finding would support the notion that the over accumulation of lipid carries worse cardiovascular consequences than the less specific over accumulation of weight [ 9 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Risk7
  • 2010) examining over 700 adults found evidence to suggest higher volumes of visceral fat, regardless of overall weight, were associated with smaller brain volumes and increased risk of dementia. (wikipedia.org)
  • Subcutaneous fat, which is stored just beneath the skin, is less metabolically active than visceral fat and has a weaker association with CVD risk. (alliedacademies.org)
  • Is visceral fat more of a risk factor than subcutaneous fat? (adaptyourlifeacademy.com)
  • it actually reduces your heart disease and stroke risk if you address that visceral fat. (adaptyourlifeacademy.com)

  • Can you explain the risk factors for people who are thin on the outside and fat on the inside (TOFI fat)? (adaptyourlifeacademy.com)
  • Some doctors think the number gives a good idea of your risk for visceral fat. (projectsports.nl)
Metabolism4
  • There's a big difference between visceral fat and other types of fat metabolically, meaning the correlating and causing all of the things we want to stop, like heart disease, stroke, vascular disease (which is really the disease process that we're trying to fix when we help someone lose weight and fix their metabolism). (adaptyourlifeacademy.com)
  • The research pointed out that meat, dairy, and sugary foods, when consumed over a long duration, affect blood sugar, glucose metabolism, and accumulation of fat in the body. (cupcoffeeco.com)
  • If you are going to do cardio, consider doing high intensity cardio instead of long, steady-state, low intensity cardio, as substantially more fat is oxidized at higher exercise intensities, revving up your metabolism and making fat burning a lot more efficient and fun. (bodybuilding.com)
  • In most instances of fat-graft breast augmentation, the increase is of modest volume, usually only one bra cup size or less, which is thought to be the physiological limit allowed by the metabolism of the human body. (wikipedia.org)

Increases2
  • Furthermore, fat mass usually increases progressively with age, and is particularly localized to the abdominal region. (frontiersin.org)
  • In contrast, strategies using GH secretagogues, may result in physiological increases in GH secretion and reduced truncal fat with fewer side effects [14]. (natap.org)
Levels6
  • These data were recapitulated in vivo, where G/G homozygotes had significantly higher resistin mRNA levels in human abdominal subcutaneous fat. (diabetesjournals.org)
  • A previous study in a sample of middle-aged men and women found that higher amounts of subcutaneous abdominal fat are associated with lower levels of subclinical atherosclerosis[ 9 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • High levels of fat in the bloodstream can turn off genes that help the body in burning fat causing greater accumulation of fat in muscle cells. (cupcoffeeco.com)
  • Visceral fat levels should be under 13 on this scale. (projectsports.nl)
  • Making these changes will help reduce the person's visceral fat levels to a healthier number. (projectsports.nl)
  • Recent studies also suggest that growth hormone levels are reduced in HIV-infected patients, and correlate inversely with excess visceral fat accumulation [8,9]. (natap.org)
Menopause4
  • Estrogen, which declines during menopause, plays a protective role against visceral fat accumulation. (alliedacademies.org)
  • The change in fat distribution as menopause approaches is consequently no longer an unalterable fate. (magazine50plus.ch)
  • The fat distribution also depends on menopause status in women. (drtrust360.com)
  • Women are more likely to store fat as subcutaneous fat than visceral fat, though they start storing visceral fat when they reach menopause. (global-dance-radio.com)
