Objective: to determine the relationship between the abdominal obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in apparently healthy subjects from Mexico City.
Methods: a total of 186 apparently healthy men and nonpregnant women from Mexico City, were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. A detailed medical history and physical examination were performed. Abdominal obesity was defined by waist circumference > or = 80 cm for women and > or = 90 cm for men.
Results: a total of 125 women (67.2 %) and 61 men (32.8 %) were enrolled. Of them, 151 (81.2 %) had insulin resistance and 130 (69.9 %) abdominal obesity. Among obese subjects 96 (46.2 %) showed metabolic syndrome. There were a high prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia (31 %) and low serum levels of HDL-cholesterol (58 %).
Conclusions: the used cut point for abdominal obesity, despite identifying a high proportion of subjects with cardiovascular risk, did not recognize a high proportion of subjects with disorders in their lipid profile.

Central obesity is associated with higher risk of developing a wide range of diseases independent of overall obesity. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified more than 300 susceptibility loci associated with central obesity. However, the functional understanding of these loci is limited by the fact that most loci are in non-coding regions.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex disorder and multiple cellular and molecular mechanisms are involved in AD onset and progression. Recent evidences have suggested that metabolic alterations are an important pathological feature in disease progression in AD. Likewise, diabetes and obesity, two mayor metabolic illnesses, are risk factors for AD.

Objective: The study objective was to evaluate changes in abdominal adipose tissue and ectopic fat during pregnancy and their associations with gestational weight gain (GWG) in women with overweight/obesity.
Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial. Magnetic resonance scans were performed during gestational week (GW) 15, GW 32, and around birth to measure abdominal subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissues, liver fat, and muscle fat.
