“…VAT has been linked to metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular mortality (7) and, conversely, VAT loss improves the inflammatory profile (22). A mean ratio of approximately 3.2/1 has been reported for SAT/VAT based on abdominal MRI images in chronically obese adult patients (23). Conversely, in our cat population, the amount of SAT and VAT was very similar at all the examined time points, with a median VAT/SAT ratio of about 0.8 at any analyzed time point.…”

The incidence of obesity in pet population increased over the last decades. Cats have been suggested as model for human obesity because of similar co-morbidities as diabetes and dyslipidaemia. Aim of this study were to quantify the distribution of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT, SAT respectively) in healthy adult cats during feeding-induced body weight (BW) gain by MRI, and to correlate it to the increased hepatic fat fraction (HFF). Cats received a commercial dry food ad libitum for 40 weeks and were longitudinally scanned three times. VAT and SAT were determined from Dixon MRI data by a dedicated software solution (ATLAS, established in human and rodents). HFF was quantified from a commercially available sequence. At both individual and group level, normalized adipose tissue volumes significantly increased longitudinally, with median VAT/SAT ratio always < 1. With increased BW, more than proportional increased total adipose tissue was observed together with more than proportional increased HFF. HFF is disproportionately high in overweight cats compared to SAT and VAT accumulation in the 40 weeks observation period. Quantitative unbiased MRI examination of different body fat components is useful in longitudinal monitoring of obesity in cats.

“…Наиболее точно отражают количество абдоминальной жировой ткани срезы, проведенные на уровне 5-10 см выше L4-L5, либо на уровне T12-L1 [33,34]. Поскольку ВЖТ обнаруживается преимущественно в нижней трети живота, где кишечник и органы малого таза не имеют сильной асимметрии, получить достоверные данные о количестве висцерального жира можно без вовлечения в исследование верхних отделов брюшной полости, которые составляют лишь небольшую часть этого жира [35].…”

Obesity is currently an important medical and social problem due to the multiple associated conditions that worsen the health of the population. Thus, there is a need for the development of accurate and non-invasive methods of body composition assessment for the purposes of diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of this disease. According to the estimates of the World Obesity Federation, by 2025 the prevalence of this disease will reach 21% in women, and 18% in men. This literature review is dedicated to the subject of various methods for assessing the degree of obesity, as well as determining the composition of the body in the context of historical achievements and a critical assessment of new technologies.

“… 5 At present, there are many methods for nutrition assessment in academia, including subjective global assessment, 6 , 7 nutritional risk screening 2002, 8 mini-nutritional assessment, 9 short-form mini-nutritional assessment, 10 , 11 bioelectrical impedance analysis, 12 dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, 13 , 14 computed tomography, 15 and MRI. 16 , 17 Although these methods are more accurate and quantitative, they cannot evaluate the overall obesity of the human body accurately. 18 Studies 19 , 20 have shown that the Heath-Carter anthropometric somatotype can comprehensively consider various factors affecting the human body (such as height, weight, skeletal muscle, body fat, etc.)…”

Introduction This study aimed to investigate the somatotype and obesity of adults in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China and to explore multivariate path analysis for the feasibility and scientificity of using somatotypes to evaluate obesity. Subjects and Methods According to anthropometric methods, a cross-sectional study was performed on 10 indexes of 3438 adults (1690 men and 1748 women, aged > 20 years) living in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China (including Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Xibe, Uzbek, Tatar and Tajik). The Heath-Carter anthropometric method and body mass index (BMI) were used to evaluate somatotype and obesity, respectively. The feasibility and scientificity of using somatotypes to evaluate obesity were analysed by correspondence analysis. Results Among the six populations, the somatotypes were mainly distributed as endomorphic mesomorph, mesomorph-endomorph and mesomorphic endomorph populations, accounting for 66.5% of males and 78.8% of females. The obesity rate (27.4% in males, 27.8% in females) of the six populations in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China was much higher than the average Chinese adult obesity rate (12.1%) and the global adult obesity rate (male: 11%, female: 15%). The distribution of BMI was significantly different (male: P= 0.000, female: P= 0.033) in different populations, and the incidence of overweight and obesity in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China increased gradually. This study found that there were significant differences in somatotype distribution among different obesity groups in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China (P=0.000). There was a strong correlation between overweight or obesity and endomorph-mesomorph, endomorphic mesomorph and mesomorphic endomorph. Furthermore, this study indicated that using somatotypes to evaluate obesity was reliable and scientific. Conclusion This study concluded that the somatotype of overweight or obese people was mainly related to endomorphic mesomorph, mesomorph-endomorph, and mesomorphic endomorph.
