Relationship of Total Body Fat Content and Its Distribution to Carbohydrate Tolerance and Serum Lipids in Diabetics
당뇨병 환자의 체지방량 및 체지방 분포와 당대사 및 혈청지질 농도와의 관계
Abstract
In this study. the importance of body fat distribution as an indicator of metabolic aberrations in diabetics was'evaluated. Skinfold thicknesses at eight sites and circumferences at five sites and total body fat content were measured on 105 diabetics. 1) The waist/thigh girth ratio(WTR) was positively correlated(r=0.38-0.54) to plasma glucose levels during oral glucose loading in diabetic men alone. 2) There was no significant difference in serum total cholesterol of diabetics and nondiabetics. However, HDL-cholesterol was significantly lower(p : 0.000. in male and female) in diabetics(male : 36.31
