Objective
Excess visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MetS) and clinical guidelines have been proposed to define VAT levels associated with increased risk. The aim was to standardize VAT measures between two dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) manufacturers who provide different VAT estimates to support standardization of measures across imaging modalities...
Objective
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) characterizes body composition representative of the US population using dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. These population‐level trends of abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (SAT and VAT) are useful for identifying measures associated with increased disease risk. Recently, VAT and SAT data collected...
Objective
This study examined whether body shape and composition obtained by three‐dimensional optical (3DO) scanning improved the prediction of metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence compared with BMI and demographics.
Methods
A diverse ambulatory adult population underwent whole‐body 3DO scanning, blood tests, manual anthropometrics, and blood pressure assessment in the Shape Up! Adults study....
Maintenance of the specialised environment of the central nervous system requires barriers provided by the endothelium of brain microvessels (the blood–brain barrier (BBB)) or the epithelium lining the ventricles (CSF–brain barrier) or the choroid plexus (blood–CSF barrier). Inter-endothelial junctions are more extensive in the BBB than in other tissues, with elaborate tight junctions. However, few...
