| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the association between pericardial fat volume and metabolic or subclinical atherosclerosis factors in Japanese men in a general population. Pericardial fat volume was significantly associated with barometers of obesity, such as BMI, waist circumstance, visceral fat and so on. Pericardial fat volume was significantly associated with triglyceride and inversely associated with HDL. Pericardial fat volume has increased significantly during the follow-up period. The patients with a history of myocardial infarction had higher volume of pericardial fat. Smoking status at baseline was not associated with pericardial fat volume but Δ pericardial fat volume of current smokers were higher than that of no-smokers. Alcohol drinking was not associated with pericardial fat.
