体内脂肪过多可引起许多合并症,且降低生存率。近年研究脂肪贮存程度与患病未必呈直线关系,腹部肥胖脂肪分布异常的代谢性疾病,例如糖尿病、高脂血症及高尿酸血症等与高血压病、缺血性心脏疾患有密切关系。但脂肪分布有男女差别,并随年龄增长而变化。肥胖的脂肪分布可用腰围/臀围之比(W/H)表示,W/H 比值增大,说明上身比下身肥胖,易发生代谢异常。作者用 CT 扫描进行脂肪量测定,结果表明,内脏脂肪(V)沉着显著的肥胖者比皮下脂肪(S)贮存型的肥胖者易患糖和脂代谢异常增高。男性的内脏脂肪比女性多,随年龄增高而内脏脂 Excess body fat can cause many complications, and reduce the survival rate. In recent years, research on the degree of fat storage and illness is not necessarily a linear relationship between the abdominal fat and fat distribution abnormal metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia and hypertension and ischemic heart disease are closely related. However, there is a difference between men and women fat distribution, and changes with age. Obese fat distribution available waist / hip ratio (W / H) that W / H ratio increases, indicating lower body fat upper body, prone to metabolic disorders. The authors used CT scans to measure fat mass and found that those with obese visceral fat (V) were significantly more susceptible to elevated glucose and lipid metabolism than obese subjects with subcutaneous fat (S) storage. Male visceral fat than women, with age and visceral fat
