RESULTS

The WHRs were similar between the control groups, but the vTXc/vTR was significantly higher in the control than in the obese group (Tab 1).

Table 1: Demographic,body composition, and indirect fat distribution index

	O F (n=30 )	C F (n=22)	C M (n=12)	Total C (n=34)
Age(y)	37.85 ± 14.89	34.65 ± 11.18	29.82 ± 14.27	31.72 ± 12.22
BMI (kg/m2)	35.89 ± 9.88	22.46 ± 3.95	22.05 ± 2.89	22.26 ± 3.42 °
% Body Fat	36.81 ± 10.28	24.56 ± 5.75	19.08 ± 6.57	21.82 ± 6.16 °
WHR	0.91 ± 0.06	0.77 ± 0.05	0.83 ± 0.06	0.80 ± 0.06 °
vTXc/vTR	0.09 ± 0.05	0.13 ± 0.07	0.15 ± 0.08	0.14 ± 0.08 °

° Significantly different total control and obese female subjects (Total C vs OF: p < .03). In a multiple linear regression analysis, with vTXc/vTR as dependent variable, neither BMI and age, but only WHR contributed to the variance of vTXc/vTR (R2 = .43; p = .0105) .
