Fat distribution during childhood and adolescence: implications for later health outcomes

Article Abstract:

The development of an unhealthy pattern of body fat distribution and its relation to metabolic risk begins early in life. The accumulation of fat is influenced by modifiable and nonmodifiable factors. Since the mid-1990s direct imaging techniques have been used to study the relation of body fat distribution to metabolic risk, and visceral fat has been found to play a role in increased disease risk in children.

Effect of education and marital status on premature mortality among urban adults in Poland, 1988-1989

Article Abstract:

Education and marital status have a significant impact on premature mortality in both men and women. A study of people in three urban centers in Poland found that premature mortality rates were highest in unmarried men with little formal education. Although this was also true in women, the effect was greater in men. This was true at all ages and in all three populations.

Variation in subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution associated with age, sex, and maturation

Article Abstract:

A 1998 study of age-, sex- and maturity-associated variation in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in a sample of 390 Polish youth showed changes in body fat distribution are influenced by the timing of the adolescent growth spurt. During adolescence, boys indicate a proportionally greater accumulation of trunk SAT than girls.
