Relative associations of abdominal and thigh compositions with cardiometabolic diseases in African Caribbean men
Abstract Background Regional body compositions are differentially associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. Simultaneous inclusion of both upper and lower body composition predictors in models is not often done, and studies which do include both measures (1) tend to exclude some tissue(s) of pot...

Abdominal (three components: subcutaneous [ASAT] and visceral [VAT] AT, ‘other’ abdominal tissue) and mid‐thigh (four components: subcutaneous and intermuscular AT, muscle, bone) compositions were measured by computed tomography; additive log ratio transformations were applied to each composition. Regression models were used to simultaneously assess associations of abdominal and thigh component ratios with continuous risk factors (blood pressures, fasting glucose and insulin, HOMA‐IR) and disease categories.

A two‐fold increased VAT ratio was only associated with higher log‐insulin and log‐HOMA‐IR (β = 0.10, p < 0.05 for both), while a two‐fold increased thigh muscle:bone ratio was associated with a lower diabetes category (OR: 0.37, 95%CI: 0.14–1.01).
