Effect of Gender on the Total Abdominal Fat, Intra-Abdominal Adipose Tissue and Abdominal Sub-Cutaneous Adipose Tissue among Indian Hypertensive Patients
Introduction: Abdominal obesity is a better marker of adverse metabolic profile than generalized obesity in hypertensive subjects. Further, gender has effect on adiposity and its distribution. Aim: Effect of gender on obesity and the distribution of fat in different sub-compartments of abdomen am...

Introduction: Abdominal obesity is a better marker of adverse
metabolic profile than generalized obesity in hypertensive subjects.
Further, gender has effect on adiposity and its distribution.
Aim: Effect of gender on obesity and the distribution of fat in different sub-compartments of abdomen among Indian hypertensive
subjects.
Materials and Methods: This observational study included 278
adult subjects (Males-149 & Females-129) with essential hypertension from a tertiary care centre in north India over one year. A
detailed history taking and physical examination including anthropometry were performed in all patients. Total Abdominal Fat (TAF) and
abdominal adipose tissue sub-compartments like Intra-Abdominal
Adipose Tissue (IAAT) and Sub-Cutaneous Adipose Tissue (SCAT)
were measured using the predictive equations developed for Asian
Indians.
Results: Female hypertensive subjects had higher Body Mass
Index (BMI) with more overweight (BMI ≥ 23kg/m2
), and obesity
(BMI≥ 25 kg/m2
). Additionally, they had higher prevalence of central
obesity based on both Waist Circumference (WC) criteria (WC≥ 90
cm in males and WC≥ 80 cm in females) and TAF criteria {≥245.6
cm2
(males) and ≥203.46 cm2 (females)} than male patients. But
there was no difference in the prevalence of central obesity based
on Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) criteria (WHR ≥0.90 in males and WHR
≥ 0.85 in females) between two genders. High TAF & IAAT were
present in more females although there was no difference in the
distribution of high SCAT between two genders.
Conclusion: Female hypertensive subjects were more obese
with higher abnormal TAF & IAAT compared to male patients.
However, there was no difference in the distribution of high SCAT
among them. |
