Phenotyping ethnic differences in body fat depots

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

There are remarkable ethnic differences in the incidence of metabolic syndrome associated features; including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Studies have suggested that South Asians (SA) present an unfavourable body fat phenotype, which includes a pattern of elevated visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and liver fat content; depots strongly associated with the progression...
