Prediction of metabolic syndrome: Identification of collage students at high risk for metabolic syndrome

DualScan是一种非侵入性内脏脂肪面积（VFA）分析仪，无需辐射暴露。采用DualScan测量了427名男性和272名女性青年的VFA，并分析了VFA与腰围（WC）和生活方式（包括饮食行为、饮酒、吸烟、经常锻炼）的关系。VFA平均值男性为41.5cm^2，女性为33.8cm^2。男性VFA与WC的相关性较好（r=0.79）。以VFA均值± 1SD为因变量的Logistic回归分析显示，进食行为评分与VFA呈显著正相关。

DualScan is a non-invasive analyzer for visceral fat area (VFA), which no radiation exposure was required. We measured VFA of young adults (427 males and 272 females) with DualScan, and analyzed the associations of VFA with waist circumferences (WC) and life-style, including eating behaviors, alcohol intake, smoking, regular exercise. The means of VFA were 41.5 cm^2 in male, 33.8 cm^2 in female. The association of VFA with WC was good for male (r=0.79). Logistic analysis with mean+1SD of VFA as dependent variable showed significant positive association of the scores in eating behaviors.
