Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The abdominal visceral fat depot is considered to be the most atherogenic, diabetogenic and hypertensiogenic fat depot of the human body. Although the amount of abdominal visceral fat is correlated with total body fat, there remain considerable inter-individual differences in visceral fat at any level of body fat content. No study has been reported to date on the contribution of genetic factors to the...
