Abstract
Body composition analysis is essential for assessing health and fitness, providing insights into fat and muscle distribution in the body and serving as a vital indicator for various conditions. Traditional methods often lack precision, but ultrasound (US) has emerged as a noninvasive alternative. The intra-abdominal visceral adipose tissue to quadriceps muscle thickness ratio emerges as a significant indicator of metabolic health, offering clinicians a valuable tool for personalized interventions. With US, it represents a significant advancement in body composition analysis, promising detailed insights with its noninvasive and real-time imaging capabilities, likely expanding its role in improving human health assessment and interventions.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging publishes reports on clinical and experimental research pertinent to human physiology in health and disease. The scope of the Journal is very broad, covering all aspects of the regulatory system in the cardiovascular, renal and pulmonary systems with special emphasis on methodological aspects. The focus for the journal is, however, work that has potential clinical relevance. The Journal also features review articles on recent front-line research within these fields of interest.
Covered by the major abstracting services including Current Contents and Science Citation Index, Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging plays an important role in providing effective and productive communication among clinical physiologists world-wide.
