  • greater adipose tissue infiltration in skeletal muscle among older men of african ancestry
    The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jane A Cauley, Iva Miljkovic, Moira A Petit, Kristine E Ensrud, Elsa S Strotmeyer, Yahtyng Sheu
    Abstract:

    Context: There is substantial variability across ethnic groups in the predisposition to obesity and associated metabolic abnormalities. Skeletal muscle fat has been identified as an important depot that increases with aging and may contribute to the development of diabetes. Objective: We tested whether men of African ancestry have greater calf intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), compared to Caucasian men, and whether IMAT is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Design: We measured fasting serum glucose, body mass index, total body fat by dual-energy x-ray Absorptiometry, and calf skeletal muscle composition by quantitative computed tomography in 1105 Caucasian and 518 Afro-Caribbean men aged 65+. Results: Compared to Caucasian men, we found greater IMAT and lower sc adipose tissue in Afro-Caribbean men at all levels of total adiposity (P < 0.0001), including the subset of men matched on age and dual-energy x-ray Absorptiometry total body fat percentage (P < 0.001). In addition, IMAT was 29 and 23% grea...
