Differential Effects of Visceral and Subcutaneous Adiposity on Peripheral Neuropathy
Objective
Obesity increases the risk of diabetic neuropathy. This study investigates the impact of visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) volume on peripheral neuropathy.
Methods
A total of 302 adults from the Qatar Biobank (QBB) underwent iDXA to measure VAT and SAT volumes, intima media thickness (IMT), and peripheral neuropathy assessments using corneal confocal microscopy (CCM), vibration perception threshold (VPT), and the DN4 questionnaire.
Results
The QBB cohort was aged 43.9 ± 12.9 years, of whom 43.7% were women, 42.1% had obesity, 17.4% had type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 10.9% had hypertension. VAT was associated with T2D, hypertension, higher HbA1c, diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers, and lower HDL (p < 0.0001). There were no significant associations between SAT and these cardiovascular risk factors. VAT volume was associated with lower corneal nerve inferior whorl length (IWL) (p < 0.05) and higher VPT (p = 0.01), partially mediated by elevated HbA1c (p < 0.05, p = 0.001) and IMT (p < 0.0001), while its association with neuropathic symptoms was fully mediated by systolic blood pressure (p < 0.05), T2D (p < 0.01), and triglycerides (p = 0.05). SAT showed no associations with measures of neuropathy.
Conclusions
VAT but not SAT is associated with peripheral neuropathy. This study underscores the need to target VAT to improve neuropathy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System is the official journal of the Peripheral Nerve Society. Founded in 1996, it is the scientific journal of choice for clinicians, clinical scientists and basic neuroscientists interested in all aspects of biology and clinical research of peripheral nervous system disorders.
The Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes high quality articles on cell and molecular biology, genomics, neuropathic pain, clinical research, trials, and unique case reports on inherited and acquired peripheral neuropathies.
Original articles are organized according to the topic in one of four specific areas: Mechanisms of Disease, Genetics, Clinical Research, and Clinical Trials.
The journal also publishes regular review papers on hot topics and Special Issues on basic, clinical, or assembled research in the field of peripheral nervous system disorders. Authors interested in contributing a review-type article or a Special Issue should contact the Editorial Office to discuss the scope of the proposed article with the Editor-in-Chief.
