Conclusions--Although both SAT and VAT are correlated with metabolic

Measurement of VAT may provide a more complete understanding of
metabolic risk associated with variation in fat distribution.

So how does one know how much VAT one has? Does one have to have a
multidetector computed tomography scan to find out?

Marilyn

Yes. Or perhaps a test for insulin sensitivity. Which may lead to Vat.

Some folks may have VAT for many years before having insulin
resistance so normal insulin sensitivity would not mean necessarily
mean that VAT is absent.

"hunger is bad"-->overeating-->VAT-->IR/MetS-->type-2 disease and CVD.

Thanks Vince

You are welcome.

Redirecting all thanks and praise to GOD, Who is the Source of all
knowledge and wisdom.

May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way making you healthier (hungrier)
than ever.

Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,
