Lifestyle factors and visceral adipose tissue: Results from the PREDIMED-PLUS study

Abstract: BackgroundVisceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a strong predictor of cardiometabolic health, and lifestyle factors may have a positive influence on VAT depot. This study aimed to assess the cross-sectional associations between baseline levels of physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviours (SB) and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) with VAT depot in older individuals with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome.MethodsBaseline data of the PREDIMED-Plus study including a sample of 1,231 Caucasian men … Show more

“…These ndings are consistent with previous cross-sectional research in adult populations [3,32,40], which have found a hazardous relationship between SB and markers of body composition, including body fat, VAT and muscle mass [3,9,32,40,41]. The present results showed that greater SB is associated with greater body fat and lower muscle mass in an aging population, resulting in greater cardiometabolic risk and disability.…”

“…The present results showed that greater SB is associated with greater body fat and lower muscle mass in an aging population, resulting in greater cardiometabolic risk and disability. In line with our ndings, other authors found that increasing total PA and MVPA improves body composition [3,8,40] and reduce the accumulation of VAT [8,10,42,43], yet no effects associated to LPA and body composition have been reported with the present results based on self-reported data.…”

“…Furthermore, the present study shows that health benefits are also attained when time inactive is replaced by LPA or time in bed, with improvements on: BMI, WC, body fat, VAT, muscle mass, HbA1c, glucose, HDL and triglycerides (LPA); and BMI, WC and HbA1c (time in bed). This is of interest, as research on this area continuous to mount, however findings remain ambiguous [4, 9, 10, 13, 2325, 23] and although there are some studies in adult population [4, 25, 28, 29], few research has been conducted in older adults [23, 26] and, as far as we know, none in individuals with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome.…”
