This phenotype is a further refinement of "metabolically-obese normal-weight" [3] [4] [5] (MONW). Subjects defined as TOFI have been described as being at higher risk of developing insulin resistance and type II diabetes due to the fact that they have reduced physical activity/ VO 2 max , reduced insulin sensitivity , higher abdominal adiposity ...
This figure demonstrates the use of MRI imaging (9.4T scanner) along with advanced image processing to quantify BMAT. The images and graph demonstrate that BMAT is higher in obese compared with lean mice. B6 mice were fed HFD from age 4 wk until age 16 wk. BMAT was quantified by MRI.
Obesity and BMI An obese male with a body mass index of 53 kg/m 2: weight 182 kg (400 lb), height 185 cm (6 ft 1 in). Obesity classification is a ranking of obesity, the medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it has an adverse effect on health. [1]
Body roundness index (BRI) is a calculated geometric index used to quantify an aspect of a person's individual body shape.Based on the principle of body eccentricity, it provides a rapid visual and anthropometric tool for health evaluation.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to generate pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to form images of the organs in the body.
Studies using MRI showed that liraglutide (Victoza), a GLP-1 agonist used for diabetes, and tirzepatide (Zepbound) led to muscle loss that was expected with the observed magnitude of weight loss ...
Obesity is a major cause of disability and is correlated with various diseases and conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. [2] [12] [13] Obesity has individual, socioeconomic, and environmental causes.
Abdominal obesity, also known as central obesity and truncal obesity, is the human condition of an excessive concentration of visceral fat around the stomach and abdomen to such an extent that it is likely to harm its bearer's health.
