Background: Obesity is associated with increased rate of mortality and morbidity if untreated. Obesity is a health hazard it required attention towards adolescent and adult age group. Generally, body fat is distributed into two main compartments that are subcutaneous adipose tissue and visceral adipose tissue. Waist Hip Ratio measures the subcutaneous adipose tissue, determination of visceral adiposity will further helpful for determination of cardiovascular disease.Methods: The study comprised of 120 subjects, of these adolescents comprised of 60 healthy adolescent childrens. The adults comprised of 60 healthy individuals. In all the subjects, Height was estimated in centimetres and Weight was measured in kilogram measured and BMI was calculated. The waist hip ratio and visceral adiposity index was calculated. In all the subjects, venous blood was collected from all the subjects for lipid profile estimation.Results: In present study BMI more than 25 have soon increased waist hip ratio and visceral adiposity index value than BMI less than 25 and it’s statically significant in both adolescent and adult group. It is also reported that BMI more than 25 have increased level of mean serum triglycerides, serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and VLDL the increase was statistically significant. The mean serum HDL cholesterol was significantly decreased in BMI>25 group when compared with BMI<25.Conclusions: It was concluded that different age groups of adolescent and adult, appropriate methods should be planned specifically for adolescent and adult age group. Regular educational sessions are needed to make changes adolescent and adults toward obesity.

And Function

The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) has recently proven to be an indicator of adipose distribution and function that indirectly expresses cardiometabolic risk. In addition, VAI has been proposed as a useful tool for early detection of a condition of cardiometabolic risk before it develops into an overt metabolic syndrome. The application of the VAI in particular populations of patients (women with polycystic ovary syndrome, patients with acromegaly, patients with NAFLD/NASH, patients with HCV hepatitis, patients with type 2 diabetes, and general population) has produced interesting results, which have led to the hypothesis that the VAI could be considered a marker of adipose tissue dysfunction. Unfortunately, in some cases, on the same patient population, there is conflicting evidence. We think that this could be mainly due to a lack of knowledge of the application limits of the index, on the part of various authors, and to having applied the VAI in non-Caucasian populations. Future prospective studies could certainly better define the possible usefulness of the VAI as a predictor of cardiometabolic risk.

Mounting evidence has suggested the clinical significance of body composition abnormalities in the context of cirrhosis. Herein, we aimed to investigate the association between visceral adiposity and malnutrition risk in 176 hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. The adiposity parameters were obtained by computed tomography (CT) as follows: total adipose tissue index (TATI), visceral adipose tissue index (VATI), subcutaneous adipose tissue index (SATI), and visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue area ratio (VSR). Malnutrition risk was screened using Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT). Visceral adiposity was determined given a higher VSR based on our previously established cutoffs. Multivariate analysis implicated that male gender (OR = 2.884, 95% CI: 1.360–6.115, p = 0.006), BMI (OR = 0.879, 95% CI: 0.812–0.951, P = 0.001), albumin (OR = 0.934, 95% CI: 0.882–0.989, P = 0.019), and visceral adiposity (OR = 3.413, 95% CI: 1.344–8.670, P = 0.010) were independent risk factors of malnutrition risk. No significant difference was observed regarding TATI, SATI, and VATI among patients with low or moderate and high risk of malnutrition. In contrast, the proportion of male patients embracing visceral adiposity was higher in high malnutrition risk group compared with that in low or moderate group (47.27 vs. 17.86%, p = 0.009). Moreover, this disparity was of borderline statistical significance in women (19.05 vs. 5.88%, p = 0.061). Assessing adipose tissue distribution might potentiate the estimation of malnutrition risk in cirrhotics. It is pivotal to recognize visceral adiposity and develop targeted therapeutic strategies.

The issue of the prognostic value of obesity in the development of cardiovascular diseases still remains open. Different input of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in the formation of cardiometabolic risk is highlighted in many research works. A range of epidemiological studies provides data confirming relation of the visceral adiposity with abnormal metabolic profile and increased cardiovascular risk, while subcutaneous adipose tissue is attributed with relative protective properties. Pathophysiological mechanisms mediating interconnection of visceral adiposity with the development of atherosclerosis remain studied incompletely. It was stated that sex hormones, estrogens and androgens, participate in the redistribution of adipose tissue, sustenance of energy homeostasis, influence on the secretion of adipokines and immune regulation of adipose tissue. Meanwhile cells of immune system, including cells of the adaptive immunity, widely presented in adipose tissue contribute to the development of the local subclinical inflammation and influence on the features of cardiometabolic effects of adipose tissue. The review discusses possible mechanisms, by which abovementioned relationships are executed and cardiovascular risk in obesity is realized.
