Seven-Year Changes in Body Fat and Visceral Adipose Tissue in Women. Association with indexes of plasma glucose-insulin homeostasis

To study the associations between changes in body fatness, visceral adipose tissue (AT), and indexes of plasma glucose-insulin homeostasis over a 7-year follow-up period.A sample of 30 nondiabetic women aged 35.2 +/- 5.6 (SD) years at baseline was studied.Changes in visceral AT and in subcutaneous AT (measured by computed tomography) as well as changes in body fat mass (obtained by hydrostatic weighting) were significantly related to changes in...
