Abstract

Background: This study was performed to determine the clinical usefulness of measurement of visceral fat area (VFA) using bioimpedance analysis in relation with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), diastolic dysfunction parameters, and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed on 1028 patients with eGFR≥60 ml/min/1.73m², aged 40 - 64 years, and who underwent routine health check-ups. Subjects were divided into tertiles based on their VFA. Associations of VFA with echocardiographic parameters and eGFR were evaluated.

Results: Across the VFA teriltes, there was a significant trend for increasing left ventricular mass index (LVMi), left atrial diameter (LAD), and ratio of early mitral inflow velocity to peak mitral annulus velocity (E/E' ratio) and that for decreasing ratio of early to late mitral inflow peak velocities (E/A ratio) and eGFR. In multivariate linear regression analysis, log-transformed VFA was significantly associated with increased LVMi, LAD, and E/E' ratio, and with decreased E/A ratio and eGFR. After adjustment for body mass index, log-transformed VFA remained as a significant determinant for E/A ratio.

Conclusion: VFA may be associated with LV structure and diastolic function, and decreased eGFR in middle-aged adults with normal or mildly impaired renal function.

Keywords: visceral fat, bioimpedance analysis, glomerular filtration rate, echocardiography, left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction.

Introduction

Obesity is associated with increased left ventricular (LV) mass and impaired LV systolic and diastolic function, and elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) [1, 2]. Obesity is also related with an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in middle-aged and older adults [3, 4]. Body mass index (BMI) is a well-known index for obesity, but it cannot discriminate between fat mass and lean body mass and does not account for fat distribution [5]. In normal aging, body fat undergoes redistribution, a disproportionate increase in visceral adiposity as opposed to subcutaenous adiposity [6]. Therefore, the single use of BMI as an index of obestiy may have limits to reflect the visceral adiposity. One of the tools to assess visceral adiposity is to measure visceral fat area (VFA). The gold standard method to measure VFA is computed tomography [7], however its use is limited as a screening tool for the general population.

Multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a tool for measuring body composition, including lean mass, fat mass, and hydration status [8]. Advances in BIA techology have allowed VFA to be measured [9]. There are little data on the clinical usefulness of VFA measured by BIA in the general population, especially in middle-aged adults with relatively healthy renal function. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical significance of VFA measured by BIA in terms of LV structure and function and renal function, in middle-aged adults with relatively normal renal function.

Methods

Study population

We retrospectively recruited subjects who is from 40 to 64 years old and underwent health examinations at the Incheon St. Mary's Hospital Health Promotion Center as part of a voluntary medical check-up between January 2012 and December 2014. Subjects who had undergone biochemical studies, echocardiography and BIA were enrolled (n = 1032). We excluded individuals with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 ml/min/1.73m² (n = 4). The eGFR was calculated using the abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation [10]. A total of 1028 subjects were included in the final analysis. This study was approved by the institutional review board of Incheon St. Mary's Hospital, Incheon, Korea.

Data collection

Medical history and social-behavioral information were collected through questionnaires. Physical examinations were performed by measuring height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and blood pressure (BP) according to standardized methods. During the measurements, the subjects were barefoot and wore light clothes. Before the measurement of BP, the subjects rested in a sitting position for 10 minutes. BMI was calculated by dividing weight by height squared (kg/m²). Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and levels of fasting insulin, serum creatinine, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and C-reactive protein were measured. Subjects were considered to have hypertension if they had a systolic BP of 140 mmHg or greater and/or a diastolic BP of 90 mm Hg or greater or if they were being treated for hypertension. Subjects were considered to have diabetes if he or she had a FPG of ≥126 mg/dL that was first detected in this examination, used an anti-diabetes medication, or was previously diagnosed with diabetes by a doctor. Dyslipidaemia was defined as a TG concentration of 150 mg/dL or greater or an LDL-C concentration of 100 mg/dL or greater and/or taking cholesterol-lowering medication. A history of CVD was defined as a previous stroke, angina, or myocardial infarction. VFA was measured using multi-frequency BIA (In-Body 720; Biospace, Seoul, Korea). The degree of insulin resistance assessed by homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated as follows: HOMA-IR = fasting insulin (mU/mL) x FPG (mmol/L)/22.5 [11].

Echocardiography

A two-dimensional-guided M-mode echocardiography was performed by a cardiologist who was blind to the patient's clinical and laboratory data. M-mode measurements included left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVDs), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (PWT), and interventricular septal thickness (IVST). Left ventricular mass (LVM) was calculated by means of the Devereux formula and indexed to height^2.7 to determine the left ventricular mass index (LVMI), expressed in g/m^2.7 [12]. The criteria used to define left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was sex-specific LVM/ height^2.7 partition values of 50 g/m^2.7 for men and 47 g/ m^2.7 for women. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and left atrial diameter (LAD) were determined from apical 2- and 4-chamber views by the Simpson's biplane formula, based on the recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography [13]. To estimate diastolic function, mitral inflow velocities, and myocardial tissue velocities were recorded using pulsed wave Doppler and the tissue Doppler, respectively. From the mitral valve inflow velocity curve using pulsed wave Doppler, peak early diastolic flow velocity (MV-E), peak late diastolic flow velocity (MV-A), a ratio of E wave, and A wave (E/A ratio) were measured [14]. From tissue Doppler imaging, septal mitral annular early peak velocity (E') was measured. A ratio of peak early transmitral flow velocity (E) to peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/E' ratio), that is an estimate of left ventricular filling pressure, was also calculated [15]. High LAD was defined LAD > 35 mm, High E/E' ratio as E/E' > 7.9 and low E/A ratio as E/A ratio < 10.5, according to the median values.

Statistical analysis

Subjects were divided into tertiles according to VFA values: tertile 1 (≤102.6 cm²), tertile 2 (102.6-127.1 cm²), and tertile 3 (>127.1 cm²). Differences in the baseline characteristics between the tertiles were evaluated. Continuous data were expressed as the mean ± SD or as the median with interquartile range (25^th to 75^th percentile) in case of skewed distribution, and were compared using one-way ANOVA or the Kruskal-Wallis test, as appropriate. Categorical data were expressed as numbers (percentage) and compared using the chi-squared test. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the association between log-transformed VFA (logVFA) and various parameters. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to assess the association of logVFA with eGFR, and echocardiographic parameters after adjusting for confounding factors. P values of <0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results

Baseline characteristics according to the VFA tertiles

The clinical characteristics of 1028 subjects stratified by VFA tertiles are shown in Table 1. Subjects in the highest VFA tertile were more likely to be older, men, smokers, and those with BMI >25kg/m² and to have diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidaemia. The highest VFA tertile group had higher systolic and diastolic BP, WC, and BMI levels, than the middle and lowest VFA teritle groups. Subjects in the highest VFA tertile had higher FPG, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL-C, and C-reactive protein levels, and lower HDL-C and eGFR levels compared with those in the middle and lowest VFA tertile groups.

Association between logVFA values and clinical and echocardiographic parameters

LogVFA was positively correlated with age and levels of systolic and diastolic BP, WC, BMI, FPG, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL-C, and C-reactive protein, LVMi, LAD, and E/E' ratio, while it was negatively correlated with HDL-C level, eGFR, and E/A ratio. After age- and sex-adjustment, logVFA was positively correlated with systolic and diastolic BP, WC, BMI, FPG, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL-C, C-reactive protein, LVMi, LAD, and E/E' ratio, and negatively correlated with HDL-C and E/A ratio (Table 2).

Association between VFA tertiles and LVH, high LAD, high E/E' ratio, low E/A ratio and eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73m²

Table 3 shows the comparisons of LVMi, LAD, E/E' and E/A ratios, and eGFR, and the prevalence of LVH, high LAD, high E/E' ratio, low E/A ratio and eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73m². The levels of LVMi, LAD, and E/E' ratio increased as the VFA levels increased. The prevalence of LVH, high LAD, and high E/E' ratio also increased as the VFA levels increased. The levels of E/A ratio and eGFR decreased, and the prevalence of low E/A ratio significantly increased as the VFA levels increased. However, the prevalence of eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73m² was not different between VFA tertiles.

Association between logVFA and LVMi, LAD, E/E' ratio, E/A ratio and eGFR

Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to examine the continuous association between logVFA with LVMi, LAD, E/E' ratio, E/A ratio, and eGFR (Table 4). LogVFA was linearly associated with LVMi (ß = 13.88, P < 0.001), LAD (ß = 12.37, P < 0.001), E/E'ratio (ß = 1.94, P < 0.001), E/A ratio (ß = -0.34, P < 0.001), and eGFR (ß = -10.65, P = 0.033) in model 1. In model 2, which included BMI as a categorical variable, the association remained significant for LAD (ß = 7.12, P < 0.001) and E/A ratio (ß = -0.27, P = 0.001). In model 3, which included BMI as a continuous variable, the association remained significant only for E/A ratio (ß = -0.22, P = 0.02). In model 3, BMI was a significant determinant for LVMi (ß = 1.33, P < 0.001), LAD (ß = 0.70, P < 0.001), E/E' ratio (ß = 0.12, P < 0.001) and E/A ratio (ß = -0.008, P = 0.05).

Discussion

The results of our study showed that VFA measured by BIA was associated with LV structure and diastolic function and renal function in middle-aged adults. VFA was associated with increased LV mass, LAD, and E/E' ratio and decreased E/A ratio and eGFR. In multivariate linear regression analysis including BMI, the association remained significant for E/A ratio. These findings suggest that measurement of VFA using BIA may be useful to identify milddle-aged adults with increased risks of cardiac or renal diseases, especially for detecting changes in mitral valve flow velocities.

Visceral obesity is known to increase in normal aging [6], and directly affects inflammation and insulin resistance [16]. The visceral fat component is metabolically active and regulates adipokines and cytokines which are associated with increased cardiometabolic risk, including leptin, adiponectin, plasminogen activator-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor [17-20]. In our study, subjects in the highest VFA tertile group were more likely to be older and smoker and to have diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidaemia. Their systolic and diastolic BP, WC, BMI, FPG, lipid levels, and C-reactive protein were higher and they had higher insulin resistance. The correlation analyses also showed positive associations of logVFA with levels of systolic and diastolic BP, WC, BMI, FPG, HOMA-IR, lipids, and C-reactive protein after age- and sex-adjustment. These findings support that VFA is related with hypertension, metabolic abnormalities and inflammation, all of which increase the risk of CVD.

Previous reports showed the effect of obesity on LV structure and function based on BMI [21, 22]. Visceral adiposity measured by computed tomography was associated with increased LAD and LVMi and decreased LV systolic and diastolic function [23-25], while subcutaneous fat did not [23]. The results of our study extend these findings to a younger population (mean age 52 years). The VFA measured by BIA was associated with increased LVMi, LAD, and E/E' ratio and decreased E/A ratio. Especially, the association of VFA with E/A ratio remained significant even after adjusting for BMI. Animal studies showed that accumulation of lipids in the myocardium is related with cardiac dysfunction in obese rats [26], and that therapeutic interventions to reduce visceral adiposity improved cardiac hypertrophy in Western diet-fed mice [27]. In human, TG accumulation in the myocardium increased with aging and was independently associated with LV diastolic dysfunction [28]. Therefore, myocardial accumulation of lipids may be a potential mechanism by which increased visceral adiposity mediates structural and functional change of LV. In our study, the VFA level was not a better determinant for LVMi, LAD, and E/E' ratio than BMI. However, VFA showed a closer relationship with E/A ratio than BMI did. These findings suggest that measurement of VFA using BIA may be useful to detect early changes in mitral valve flow velocities.

There are previous reports on the association between obesity and renal function. Obesity measurements including BMI, WC and fat mass measured by BIA were associated with increased risk of rapid eGFR loss and the strongest OR for rapid eGFR loss was observed when baseline eGFR was < 60 ml/min/1.73m² [4]. In contrast, there are reports showing that obesity, defined by the BMI, was not per se a risk of CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m²) [29, 30], but a metabolically abnormal obesity is a risk of CKD [30]. Since BMI cannot discriminate between fat mass, lean body mass and visceral adiposity [5], it cannot represent the metabolical abnormality or inflammation. A recent cross-sectional study demonstrated that VFA measured by BIA was associated with CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m²) [31]. The authors reported that the prevalence of CKD ranged from 6.9% to 25.2% according to VFA tertile groups. Our study also evaluated the association between VFA level and eGFR. However, the difference was that the study population of this study was limited to adults with eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m², those who have relatively healthy renal function. In this study, the eGFR levels decreased as the VFA tertile increased, and the logVFA showed a negative relationship with eGFR after adjustment for age, sex, diabetes, systolic and diastolic BP, smoking, alcohol drinking, dyslipidaemia, and history of CVD. However, when BMI was included in the multivariate analysis, neither logVFA nor BMI was a significant determinant for eGFR. We speculate that the cross-sectional design of our study had limits to show the effect of VFA on renal function in middle-aged adults with relatively healthy renal function.

Recently it was published that visceral adiposity measured by computed tomography was a risk factor for renal function decline in elderly subjects without baseline CKD [32]. Multiple mechanisms underlie the association between obesity and CKD. Visceral adiposity is involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance [33], and leads to the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin systems, lipid deposition and increased sodium absorption in the kidneys resulting in hypertension and decline in renal function [34]. It was also demonstrated that hypertension mediates the association between obesity and CKD development [35]. In our study, VFA was related with hypertension, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Therefore the association between VFA and eGFR may be mediated by metabolic abnormality, hypertension and inflammation. These findings suggest that VFA can be a modifiable risk factor for the decline of eGFR in subjects with relatively healthy renal function.

Strengths of our study include a specified population, middle-aged adults with eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73m², and a simultaneous assessment of LV structure and function and renal function. However our study has several limitations. First, it was a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis from a single center. Second, the causal relationship between VFA and cardiac and renal function could not be determined. Third, the effect of specific medications could not be assessed as the medical and social-behavioral information were collected through questionnaires. Fourth, the advantage of VFA over BMI for predicting LV structural and functional changes and renal function was not clearly shown from our study.

In conclusion, high VFA levels were associated with high levels of LVMi, LAD, and E/E' ratio and low levels of E/A ratio and eGFR. These findings suggest that VFA may be associated with the development of LVH, diastolic dysfunction, and decline of eGFR in middle-aged adults with normal or mildly impaired renal function. Measurement of VFA using BIA could be useful to identify subjects at increased risk of cardiac disease or CKD. Further research is needed to determine the role of VFA on cardiac and renal diseases.
