Lorbeer R, et al. - In a community-based sample, free of clinical cardiovascular disease, researchers assessed the correlations of prevalent hypertension with MRI-derived adipose tissue measurements and anthropometric markers, respectively. Using a 3-Tesla machine, they obtained MRI-derived adipose tissue measurements from 345 participants (143 women; age 39–73 years) of the KORA FF4 survey from Southern Germany. MRI-derived adipose tissue measurements were comparable to anthropometric markers in identifying prevalent hypertension. Total adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue, and pericardial adipose tissue, as well as waist–height ratio and waist circumference, were noted to have an especially strong correlation with prevalent hypertension.
