Central Obesity

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound cavitation on insulin resistance, HbA1c and skin fold in patients with abdominal central obesity.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between body fat distribution measured by CT scan and related risk factors with the risk of incident metabolic and cardiovascular disease in a prospective cohort study of Japanese men and women. The investigators will also investigate novel risk factors for metabolic and cardiovascular disease using molecular weight-based metallomics analysis.

The study compares the effects of ultrasound lipolysis and cryo lipolysis on cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, body mass index, skin thickness, waist circumference, and waist hip ratio in centrally obese middle aged men. It also investigates the impact of ultrasound lipolysis on skin thickness, waist circumference, and waist hip ratio.
