Relation between visceral obesity, Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and adenovirus 36 among female Adolescents
Walaa Saad Hanafy Mahmoud;
Abstract
Increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), a marker of early-onset atherosclerosis, has been observed in obese adolescents. Recently the viral infection increased interest in obesity-related studies, especially adenovirus 36.
Aim: To investigate the relationship between cIMT, visceral obesity and adenovirus 36 infection in female adolescents. Study Design: A cross-sectional study included 90 females aged 12-15 years. It was conducted at the "Medical Excellence Research Center (MERC)" of the ―National Research Centre" (Approval No.15089), during the period between September 2016 and November 2017. Anthropometric assessment was done. Visceral obesity was measured by abdominal ultrasound. cIMT for both carotid arteries were measured by high-resolution echo-Doppler. Qualitative Human adenovirus 36 antibody was assessed using ELISA.
Results: Girls with visceral obesity had higher frequency of increased cIMT at left (96.2% versus75%) and right carotid artery (84.6% versus 73.4%), and adenovirus 36 sero-positive antibodies than among those without visceral obesity p>0.01.Visceral obesity; among total sample; had significant positive correlations with BMI, waist and hip circumference. While it had insignificant correlations with age, cIMT at both right and
