OBJECTIVE: To measure mesenteric fat thickness with ultrasound scan in neonates and to assess the correlation with waist circumference. METHODS: Ninety five healthy newborns had the maximum thickness of mesenteric leaves measured by ultrasound examinations of abdomen with an Envisor scanner (Philips Ultrasound, Bothell, Wash) and a L12-5 transducer (Philips Ultrasound). The correlation between the thickness of mesenteric leaves with abdominal waist was calculated. RESULTS: Maximum thickness of mesenteric leaves ranged from 0.24 to 1.00 mm (x = 0.57 ± 0.17) . There was a significant negative correlation between abdominal waist (AW) and mesenteric fat thickness (r = -0.384; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Mesenteric fat thickness in newborns is inversely associated with waist circumference. Higher visceral adiposity in neonates may be a protective mechanism from intrauterine growth restriction however this could persist into adulthood life. |
