Genetic And Early Life Predictors Of Ectopic Fat And Their Association With Cardiometabolic Health And Disease

儿童时期的肥胖预示着成人的心血管疾病。体重指数作为肥胖的衡量标准，并不能完全描述过度肥胖的生物学特征。然而，体内脂肪分布的差异，特别是器官周围的脂肪，可能解释了一些额外的风险。我们将在26岁的RAINE研究参与者中检查遗传、怀孕和儿童因素对不同体脂和心血管风险的影响。这些年轻人从怀孕到成年都被研究过

Obesity in childhood predicts adult cardiovascular disease. Body mass index as a measure of obesity does not fully describe the biology of excess adiposity. However, differences in the distribution of body fat, particularly fat around organs, may explain some of the excess risk. We will examine effects of genetic, pregnancy and childhood factors on different body fats and cardiovascular risk in Raine Study participants at 26 years. These young adults have been studied from pregnancy to adulthood
