Abstract
Visceral adipose tissue deposition is associated with increased risk of chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and accompanying metabolic abnormalities. Determining the components of diet associated with increased or decreased visceral adipose tissue deposition is critical to decreasing the risk of chronic disease in at-risk populations. The aim of this research analysis was to determine the role of dietary carbohydrate in visceral adipose tissue deposition in participants from the “Neurocognitive and metabolic effects of mild Hypothyroidism” study conducted between 2008 to 2013.
