| Core Tip |
Although close association between visceral fat accumulation and metabolic syndrome has been established, little is known about what clinical and biochemical parameters affect visceral fat accumulation. We analyzed the clinical and biochemical parameters of the health checkup subjects and assessed the visceral fat area (VFA). A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that VFA had a positive relationship with age, body mass index (BMI), and triglyceride level in males, whereas it had a positive relationship with age, BMI, and current drinking in females. These results suggest that gender differences exist in the clinical and biochemical parameters associated with visceral fat accumulation.
