1.
Abdominal visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio in the prediction of metabolic syndrome risk in Japanese Americans followed prospectively for 10-years loses information
Liao C, Fujimoto W, Kahn S, Leonetti D, Boyko E
Obes Res Clin Pract . 2024 Sep; 18(4):263-268. PMID: 39277538
Aims: Visceral fat predicts the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS), but it is not known whether the visceral to subcutaneous fat area ratio (VSR) measured using imaging predicts MetS risk...
2.
Plasma amino acid profile, a biomarker for visceral adipose tissue that can substitute for waist circumference in Japanese Americans
Tran A, Wander P, Thomas M, Leonetti D, Kahn S, Fujimoto W, et al.
Obes Res Clin Pract . 2021 Nov; 15(6):557-563. PMID: 34782257
Background: Greater visceral fat area (VFA) is associated with cardiometabolic outcomes. We sought to identify cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between amino acid (AA) levels and VFA in Japanese-Americans. Methods: From...

Lower High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentration Is Independently Associated with Greater Future Accumulation of Intra-Abdominal Fat
Song S, Hwang Y, Ryu H, Kahn S, Leonetti D, Fujimoto W, et al.
Endocrinol Metab (Seoul) . 2021 Sep; 36(4):835-844. PMID: 34474518
Background: Both intra-abdominal fat (IAF) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are known to be associated with cardiometabolic health. We evaluated whether the accumulation of computed tomography (CT)-measured IAF over 5...
4.
Leptin and Adiponectin Concentrations Independently Predict Future Accumulation of Visceral Fat in Nondiabetic Japanese Americans
Song S, Han S, Kahn S, Leonetti D, Fujimoto W, Boyko E
Obesity (Silver Spring) . 2020 Dec; 29(1):233-239. PMID: 33269547
Objective: Whether leptin and adiponectin are independently associated with regional body fat distribution was investigated in a prospective study of Japanese Americans. Methods: Nondiabetic participants 39 to 79 years of...
5.
Comparison of twenty indices of insulin sensitivity in predicting type 2 diabetes in Japanese Americans: The Japanese American Community Diabetes Study
Onishi Y, Hayashi T, Sato K, Leonetti D, Kahn S, Fujimoto W, et al.
J Diabetes Complications . 2020 Oct; 34(12):107731. PMID: 33012601
Aims: We compared 20 previously reported indices of insulin sensitivity derived from samples during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to determine which was best in predicting incident type 2...

Longitudinal changes in plasma sex hormone concentrations correlate with changes in CT-measured regional adiposity among Japanese American men over 10 years
Dinh K, Amory J, Matsumoto A, Marck B, Fujimoto W, Leonetti D, et al.
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) . 2020 Jul; 93(5):555-563. PMID: 32633813
Objective: Ageing in male adults is typically accompanied by adiposity accumulation and changes in circulating sex hormone concentrations. We hypothesized that an ageing-associated increase in oestrogens and decrease in androgens...

Apolipoprotein B Levels Predict Future Development of Hypertension Independent of Visceral Adiposity and Insulin Sensitivity
Han S, Fujimoto W, Kahn S, Leonetti D, Boyko E
Endocrinol Metab (Seoul) . 2020 Jul; 35(2):351-358. PMID: 32615719
Background: High plasma apolipoprotein B (apoB) levels have been shown to be associated with hypertension, central obesity, and insulin resistance in cross-sectional research. However, it is unclear whether apoB levels...
8.
Intra-Abdominal Fat and High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Are Associated in a Non-Linear Pattern in Japanese-Americans
Song S, Hwang Y, Kahn S, Leonetti D, Fujimoto W, Boyko E
Diabetes Metab J . 2020 Mar; 44(2):277-285. PMID: 32174061
Background: We describe the association between high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and computed tomography (CT)-measured fat depots. Methods: We examined the cross-sectional associations between HDL-C concentration and intra-abdominal (IAF),...
9.
Change in CT-measured abdominal subcutaneous and visceral but not thigh fat areas predict future insulin sensitivity
Liu A, Song S, Hayashi T, Sato K, Kahn S, Leonetti D, et al.
Diabetes Res Clin Pract . 2019 Jun; 154:17-26. PMID: 31228493
Aims: We examined the longitudinal association between change in body composition directly measured by computed tomography (CT) and future insulin sensitivity. Methods: This was a prospective study with 10 years...
10.
Higher High Density Lipoprotein 2 (HDL2) to Total HDL Cholesterol Ratio Is Associated with a Lower Risk for Incident Hypertension
Hwang Y, Fujimoto W, Kahn S, Leonetti D, Boyko E
Diabetes Metab J . 2018 Oct; 43(1):114-122. PMID: 30302964
Background: Recent studies have suggested that high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is inversely associated with the development of hypertension. We aimed to determine the association between different HDL cholesterol subclasses...
