The possibilities of early diagnosis of metabolic disorders in obesity

. Low-intensity chronic inflammation due to adiposopathy in visceral obesity is considered the basis for the formation of metabolic syndrome and an important component of the pathogenesis of leading non-infectious chronic diseases. The well-known anthropometric indicators of visceral obesity used in routine practice do not take into account the ectopic locations of fat depots and their contribution to the metabolic activity of adipose tissue. The search continues for universal integral indicators, including anthropometric, biochemical parameters, and the results of imaging studies reflecting early metabolic disorders in adipose tissue dysfunction. Early verification of metabolic changes associated with visceral obesity can significantly affect the prognosis of metabolic diseases and their complications.
