“…However, this more detailed investigation wasn’t the goal of this study. Furthermore, the LAP and the VAI showed lower accuracy comparing to the WHtR and the C Index because of bioquimics tests (TG, HDL), which constitute their respective equations and have weaker correlations with visceral fat than the anthropometry [31].…”

BackgroundVisceral obesity is associated with higher occurrence of cardiovascular events. There are few studies about the accuracy of anthropometric clinical indicators, using Computed Tomography (CT) as the gold standard. We aimed to determine the accuracy of anthropometric clinical indicators for discrimination of visceral obesity.MethodsCross-sectional study with 191 adults and elderly of both sexes. Variables: area of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) identified by CT, Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), Conicity index (C index), Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP) and Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI). ROC analyzes.ResultsThere were a strong correlation between adiposity indicators and VAT area. Higher accuracy of C index and WHtR (AUC≥0.81) than the LAP and the VAI was observed. The higher AUC of LAP and VAI were observed among elderly with areas of 0.88 (CI: 0.766–0.944) and 0.83 (CI: 0.705–0.955) in men and 0.80 (CI: 0.672–0.930) and 0.71 (CI: 0.566–0.856) in women, respectively. The cutoffs of C index were 1.30 in elderly, in both sexes, with sensitivity ≥92%, the LAP ranged from 26.4 to 37.4 in men and from 40.6 to 44.0 in women and the VAI was 1.24 to 1.45 (sens≥76.9%) in men and 1.46 to 1.84 in women.ConclusionBoth the anthropometric indicators, C Index and WHtR, as well as LAP and VAI had high accuracy in visceral obesity discrimination. So, they are effective in cardiovascular risk assessment and in the follow-up for individual and collective clinical practice.

“…As for serum biochemical tests, only three studies showed a direct association between VAT patterns and serum levels of uric acid, amylase, and lipid profile [ 11 , 12 , 35 ].…”

“…This phenomenon triggers changes such as very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-c) overproduction and, indirectly, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c) overproduction, and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) levels that might result in hypertriglyceridemia (high triglyceride levels in the bloodstream), hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels in the bloodstream), and atherogenesis (fatty plaque formation in the arteries) [ 65 ]. VAT strongly correlates with the tests' results for triglycerides, VLDL-c, and uric acid in older adults, indicating a direct association between them [ 11 ]. In contrast, VAT has a low correlation with total cholesterol and LDL-c and an inverse correlation with HDL-c in both sexes.…”

“…Excessive deposition of VAT influences the pro-inflammatory response regulation, and with aging, adipocytes tend to have a higher pro-inflammatory level due to adipokines' action [ 9 ]. Thus, an elevated VAT area contributes to a greater risk of metabolic and hemodynamic disorders, favoring the appearance of diseases, such as arterial hypertension, diabetes, atherogenic cardiovascular disease, coronary disease, and kidney problems [ 10 ], and changes in serum biochemical parameters [ 11 , 12 ].…”

Background. The amount of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) tends to increase with age and is associated with several health problems, such as cardiometabolic diseases, increased infections, and overall mortality. Objectives. This review provides a general assessment of how visceral adiposity correlates with the development of health problems and changes in serum biochemical parameters in middle-aged and older adults. Methods. We searched specific terms in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases for VAT articles published in the English language between 2009 and 2019 related to older adults. Results. The search found twenty-three publications in this period, of which nine were excluded. The publications had a population aged between 42 and 83 years and correlated the VAT area ratio with several comorbidities (such as pancreatitis, depression, cancer, and coronary heart disease) and serum biochemical parameters. Conclusion. Further research on the association between visceral obesity and the emergence of health problems and the relationship between VAT and changes in serum biochemical parameters in older individuals should deepen the understanding of this connection and develop preventive actions.

Objective: Identify a score for the diagnostic assessment of health and body image based on anthropometric and biochemical measures in the elderly. Method:Transversal research exploratory and quantitative approach, developed in the South of the city of João Pessoa-PB with 21 elderly practitioners of physical exercises in sport aerobics in the period of May to June 2015. It was used a sociodemographic questionnaire and the International Physical Activity questionnaire, IPAQ. The research was authorized by the ethics on Research Committee of the University Center of João Pessoa/PB, CAAE 38840214.7.0000.5176. Results:The study subjects had an average age of 65.9 and standard deviation 6.92 years. It was observed in table 2 the importance of body fat Mass and waist hip as the most influential in lifestyle, according to the non-parametric test of McNemar suitable for dichotomous dependent data. In table 3 the importance of all variables with exception of Edema as the most influential in body image, according to the non-parametric test of McNemar Conclusion: It is observed that the elderly present composition of body fat mass and relative CK high, according to the measure of proximity of Jaccard, thus most of the elderly are in opposition to a healthy lifestyle. It is essential for the understanding of the characteristics and the transformations that the individuals with the advancement of age
