| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Accumulation of adipose tissue progresses to metabolic diseases. Sonography is a convenient modality for measuring the thickness of adipose tissue. The present study aimed to clarify the site of adipose tissue thickness that correlated best with laboratory test values reflecting metabolic abnormalities. Abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue, peritoneal adipose tissue, peri-renal adipose tissue and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thicknesses were measured. Correlations were evaluated between laboratory test values and these adipose tissue thicknesses. VAT thickness well correlated with laboratory test abnormalities. Significant correlations were also found between EAT thickness and laboratory test values. Among the adipose tissue thicknesses measured at several sites on sonography, VAT and EAT thicknesses correlated closely with laboratory test values representing metabolic abnormalities.
