Background:Accumulation of adipose tissue progresses to metabolic diseases. Sonography is a convenient modality for measuring the thickness of adipose tissue. The present study aimed to clarify the site of adipose tissue thickness that correlated best with laboratory test values reflecting metabolic abnormalities.Methods:Subjects comprised 37 elderly women with metabolic diseases or an almost healthy state (median age, 71 years; interquartile range, 62–78 years). Abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue, peritoneal adipose tissue, perirenal adipose tissue, and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thicknesses were measured. Correlations were evaluated between laboratory test values and these adipose tissue thicknesses.Results:VAT thickness measured at the level of the umbilicus correlated positively with values of triglycerides (TGs) (r= 0.593,P= 0.0009) and hemoglobin A1c (r= 0.490,P= 0.0081) and negatively with the value of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r= −0.521,P= 0.0045), even after adjusting for body mass index. Significant positive correlations were also found between EAT thickness and TGs (r= 0.542,P= 0.0029).Conclusions:Among the adipose tissue thicknesses measured at several sites by sonography, VAT thickness correlated most closely with laboratory test values representing metabolic abnormalities in elderly women.
