| Research Abstract |
For diagnosing Metabolic syndrome in Japan,"The Abdominal circumference of the male is 85cm or more, and the female is 90cm or more," is a required criteria. But abdominal circumference can be affected by both the person who is measuring and who is measured. In this study, the four biomarkers insulin, Sd-LDL, adiponectin, and macromolecular adiponectin were determined in people who received a visceral fat measurement by CT during their complete physical examination. An analysis of the relation between the visceral fat accumulations with these criteria found abdominal circumference to be the most relevant predictor of visceral fat accumulation. Among the biomarkers, adiponectin had the strongest association with visceral fat measurements.
