Predictors of abdominal adipose tissue compartments: 18-year follow-up of young @entity1 with and without XXXX .

@entity1 @entity6 @entity65 @entity1386 @entity165
BACKGROUND: Abdominal adipose tissue (AAT) consists of @entity1386 ( @entity1386 ) and @entity1386 ( @entity1386 ), which can be further divided into superficial and deep @entity1386 . Despite being a key factor in the development of @entity65 , what predicts future amount of AAT is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: To determine long-term predictors of amount of AAT. METHODS: This was a mean 18-year follow-up study of a cohort of 94 healthy young Caucasian @entity1 , with and without a @entity6 ( @entity6 ). Cardiovascular risk markers were examined both at baseline and at follow-up. At follow-up, computed tomography (CT) of AAT was conducted to assess amount of superficial and deep @entity1386 , and @entity1386 . RESULTS: In multiple regression analyses, baseline body mass index (BMI) remained a positive predictor of future amount of superficial and deep @entity1386 , while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) @entity165 was a negative predictor of all three sub-compartments. Baseline risk markers were generally stronger predictors among @entity1 with @entity6 , than among @entity1 without. In addition, @entity6 had greater impact on amount of deep @entity1386 and @entity1386 , than on amount of superficial @entity1386 . CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that the traditional cardiovascular risk markers BMI, HDL @entity165 and @entity6 are long-term predictors of the different abdominal adipose tissue compartments from young towards middle age in healthy @entity1 . In @entity1 with @entity6 , cardiovascular risk markers at a young age seem to be of greater importance to future amount of abdominal adipose tissue, than among @entity1 without.
