Asian Indians have high @entity2690 resistance, @entity3190 , a high prevalence of @entity6 , and a high waist to hip ratio (WHR), although the rate of @entity28 is low. WHR and @entity1386 ( @entity1386 ) are highly correlated, and both are associated with @entity2690 resistance. This study was performed to determine the normal ranges of abdominal fat distribution (subcutaneous [SF] and @entity1386 ) in nondiabetic South Indians and also to study its correlations with WHR, plasma @entity2690 , and metabolic profiles. Fat areas were measured by computed axial tomographic scan at the L4 to L5 level. Mean areas of SF and @entity1386 in @entity1 and @entity1 in this study were similar to the values in white populations. @entity1 had significantly less @entity1386 than @entity1 . Gender differences were observed in the contribution of fat areas to anthropometric, hormonal, and metabolic variables. In general, in @entity1 , total fat (TF) area showed significant independent correlation with body mass index (BMI), WHR, and total @entity165 , and @entity1386 correlated with @entity2690 secretion. In @entity1 , TF and BMI were correlated and SF showed a correlation with total @entity165 . @entity2690 secretion in @entity1 did not show a correlation with fat areas.
