Abstract

Excessive visceral fat is correlated to the increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases by increased lipid profiles and circulation of inflammatory cytokines. Men have higher accumulated visceral fat due to hormone and other factors. The aim of this research is to study the correlation of lipid profiles (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein/HDL, low-density lipoprotein/LDL, and triglyceride/TG and inflammatory markers (Leukocyte, Neutrophil, Lymphocyte, Erythrocyte Sediment Rate/ESR, Monocyte, Eosinophil). The cross-sectional study recruited 37 adult men with the mean age 24 years old. BIA was used to measure visceral fat rating (r = 0.465, p = 0.002), and samples of blood were collected following an overnight fast. The results showed that significant correlations were found between the serum cholesterol (r = 0.524, p = 0.001), LDL (r = 0.547, p = 0.001), triglyceride and visceral fat. From variables of inflammatory markers, the significant positive correlations were shown between leukocyte between visceral fat (r = 0.281, p = 0.046) and between ESR and visceral fat (r = 0.402, p = 0.007). In conclusion, statistically significant positive correlations were found between several lipid profiles (total cholesterol, LDL and TG) and visceral fat, and between specific inflammatory markers (leukocyte and ESR) and visceral fat.
