“…Bioelectrical body impedance analysis is an easy, non-invasive method to estimate aspects such as FM, fat-free mass and total body water. It is possible to make the distinction between central and peripheral obesity with this device (21,22). All parameters of BIA in the peripheral and central obese groups were found to be higher than in the healthy control group, whereas the same parameters were not significantly different between the peripheral and central obese groups.…”

“…All parameters of BIA in the peripheral and central obese groups were found to be higher than in the healthy control group, whereas the same parameters were not significantly different between the peripheral and central obese groups. Likewise, Berker et al (21) found that anthropometric variables were indistinguishable between genders, but WHR quantifications were higher in males than in females. In addition, the measurements methods best correlating with visceral fat area by computed tomography were BIA in male and female obese persons.…”

“…There have been several experimental trials to estimate VFA in the abdomen using BIA and some of them showed good correlations between VFA estimated by BIA and that measured by precise imaging techniques such as CT. 24,30,31 Moreover, studies have confirmed that VFA estimated by BIA is useful for detecting metabolic impairment. 32,33 Our observation is the same as individuals identified with high VF had higher prevalence of associated metabolic illnesses.…”

ABSTRACT… Background: Asians compared to Europeans are known to be at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Obesity is a global cardio metabolic health and cancer risk. There is paucity of data regarding obesity in our local population. Aims & Objectives: To evaluate Body Mass Index (BMI). Visceral fat content and body fat percentage using Bio-impedance body composition monitor. Thus to identify overweight and obese individuals with high visceral and body fat content the risk factors for cardio metabolic syndrome. Study Design: Cross sectional survey. Setting: Outpatient Department of Medicine, Fatima Memorial Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Period: 15 th January to 20 th March 2016. Material and Method: 250 patients above 18 years of age who reported in outdoor department were enrolled after informed consent in local language according to enrollment criteria. Approved by ethical review committee reference number FMS-2-2016-IRB-M-111. Their height and weight were measured and BMI, visceral fat content and body fat percentage was calculated using bioimpedance body composition monitor. They were asked questions for pertinent co-morbidities. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22.0 version. Results: Out of 250 patients enrolled 144 (58 %) were females and 106 (42 %) were males. Mean age was 45 ±13 years. Mean BMI was 29kg/m 2 . Above normal BMI was seen in 170 (68%), 98(39%) were obese (BMI>30kg/ m2) and 80 (32%) overweight ). Above normal visceral fat content and body fat percentage was seen in 110(44 %) and 191(76%) respectively. In the later group 100(67%) were females. Diabetes and hypertension were present in 63(64%) obese patients among 30(73%) with high visceral fat and in 90(60%) with high body fat percentage. Conclusion: A significant number of patients were overweight or obese with above normal visceral fat content and body fat percentage with female dominance in later group. They also had higher prevalence of diabetes and hypertension. Bio-impedance technique is useful simple inexpensive tool for initial assessment of visceral and body fat content in outdoor facility.

Objective This study aimed to examine the association between lifestyle-related disorders and visceral fat mass, and to estimate an appropriate cutoff value for visceral fat mass that correlated with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted between July 2012 and August 2013 at Bange Kosei General Hospital, in Fukushima, Japan. All study participants were adult males who had completed voluntary medical check-ups that included estimation of visceral fat mass by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Participants were without past histories of atherosclerotic complications or were not currently taking medications for lifestyle-related disorders. Multivariate analysis was performed to estimate the association between lifestylerelated disorders and quartiles of visceral fat mass. Results Of 536 total respondents, 442 were included in the analysis. Mean participant age was 56 years, and mean values of BMI, WC, and visceral fat mass were 24.1 kg/m 2 , 85.9 cm, and 2.1 kg, respectively. Visceral fat mass C1.8 kg was positively associated with an increased prevalence of dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, and impaired glucose tolerance. Cutoff values that correlated with visceral fat mass (C1.8 kg) were 85.3 cm for WC and 23.25 kg/m 2 for BMI. Conclusion Visceral fat mass C1.8 kg was positively associated with lifestyle-related disorders and closely related to WC and BMI cutoff values used to diagnose obesity. BIA may be a useful method for assessing visceral H. Sanada and H. Yokokawa contributed equally.
