Correlation analysis of the abdominal visceral fat area with the structure and function of the heart and liver in obesity: a prospective magnetic resonance imaging study
The differences in fat deposition sites exhibit varying degrees of systemic inflammatory responses and organ damage, especially in obese individuals with excessive visceral fat. Visceral fat, which is closely related to an increase in mortality rates related to heart and liver diseases. However, few...

Zusammenfassung: | The differences in fat deposition sites exhibit varying degrees of systemic inflammatory responses and organ damage, especially in obese individuals with excessive visceral fat. Visceral fat, which is closely related to an increase in mortality rates related to heart and liver diseases. However, few studies have analysed the differences in heart and liver indicators and their correlation among groups based on the abdominal visceral fat area (AVFA).
Clarifying the differences in and correlations of heart and liver indicators among groups with different severities of AVFA by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Sixty-nine subjects with obesity were enrolled. The study group consisted of forty-one individuals (AVFA ≥ 150 cm
), and the control group consisted of twenty-eight individuals (100 cm
≤ AVFA |
