内脏脂肪组织(VAT)是代谢和心血管疾病的独立危险因素。目前还没有研究表明亚洲男性和高加索男性的腹部脂肪分布存在差异。由于日本人比高加索人不那么肥胖，但更容易受到代谢紊乱的影响，在肥胖水平相近的情况下，他们的增值税可能比高加索人高。我们比较了日本人(n=239)和高加索裔美国人(n=177)男性的腹部脂肪分布，年龄在40-49岁之间。我们获得了CT图像，并确定了VAT和皮下脂肪组织(SAT)的面积。计算增值税与增值税比率(VSR)。日本男性在每个阶层的增值税和VSR都更大，尽管总体上肥胖率要低得多。在多民族研究中，在探索肥胖的相关因素时应考虑腹部脂肪分布的差异。
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is an independent risk factor for metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. There has been no study that demonstrated different abdominal fat distribution between Asian and Caucasian men. As the Japanese are less obese but more susceptible to metabolic disorders than Caucasians, they may have larger VAT than Caucasians at similar levels of obesity. We compared the abdominal fat distribution of the Japanese (n=239) and Caucasian-American (n=177) men aged 40-49 years in groups stratified by waist circumference in a population-based sample. We obtained computed tomography images and determined areas of VAT and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). We calculated VAT to SAT ratio (VSR). The Japanese men had a larger VAT and VSR in each stratum, despite substantially less obesity overall. In multiethnic studies, difference in abdominal fat distribution should be considered in exploring factors related to obesity.
