DISCUSSION

The results of our study showed a clear association between vTXc/vTR ratio and WHR in estimating the differences in segmental body composition and, in turn, in abdominal fat. This abdominal-related measurement of vTXc/vTR might support the concept that increased visceral adipose tissue mass with a high density of adipocytes could be related to truncal cellularity. Perhaps, the subjects with higher abdominal fat mass or, in turn, visceral fat mass are prone to exhibit lower vTXc/vTR ratios.
