Abstract EN
Introduction.
Subcutaneous fat (ScF) and visceral fat (VF) measurements using CT scan are expensive and may imply significant radiation doses.
Cross-sectional studies using CT scan showed that ScF and VF are significantly correlated with abdominal fat measured by DXA (AF-DXA).
The association has not been studied after a weight loss.
Objective.
To determine (1) the associations between AF-DXA and ScF and VF before and after weight loss and (2) the associations between their changes.
Methods.
137 overweight/obese postmenopausal women were divided in two groups (1-caloric restriction or 2-caloric restriction + resistance training).
AF was assessed using DXA and CT scan.
Results.
Correlations between AF-DXA and ScF (before: r=0.87, after; r=0.87; P<.01) and, AF-DXA and VF (before: r=0.61, after; r=0.69; P<.01) are not different before and after the weight loss.
Correlations between delta AF-DXA and delta ScF (r=0.72; P<.01) or delta VF (r=0.51; P<.01) were found.
Conclusion.
The use of AF-DXA as a surrogate for VF after weight loss is questionable, but may be interesting for ScF.
