    Direct Measurements of Abdominal Visceral Fat and Cognitive Impairment in Late Life: Findings From an Autopsy Study
    (2019) NISHIZAWA, Aline; CUELHO, Anderson; FARIAS-ITAO, Daniela S. de; CAMPOS, Fernanda M.; LEITE, Renata E. P.; FERRETTI-REBUSTINI, Renata E. L.; GRINBERG, Lea T.; NITRINI, Ricardo; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos A.; SUEMOTO, Claudia K.
    Background: The relationship between cognitive impairment and abdominal visceral is controversial. Moreover, all studies so far used imaging studies to evaluate visceral fat and this association has not been described yet using autopsy material, which allows the direct quantification of abdominal fat. We aimed to investigate the association between direct measurements of abdominal visceral fat and cognitive impairment in an autopsy study. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we collected information on sociodemographics, cardiovascular risk factors, and cognitive status from subjects aged 50 or older at time of death in a general autopsy service in Brazil. Abdominal visceral fat was obtained in natura by the dissection of perirenal, mesenteric, omental, and mesocolon fat. The associations of total abdominal visceral fat with cognitive impairment [clinical dementia rating (CDR) score >= 0.5] and CDR-sum of boxes (CDR-SB) were evaluated using logistic regression and negative binomial regression models, respectively. All analyses were adjusted for height, age, sex, education, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke, smoking, alcohol use, and physical inactivity. In addition, we compared the discrimination of visceral fat, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) measurements in predicting cognitive impairment. Results: We evaluated 234 participants (mean age = 71.2 +/- 12.9 years old, 59% male). Abdominal visceral fat was inversely associated with cognitive impairment (OR = 0.46, CI = 0.30; 0.70, p < 0.0001) and with CDR-SB scores (beta = 0.85, 95% CI = 1.28; 0.43, p < 0.0001). When we compared the area under the ROC curve (AUC), visceral fat (AUC = 0.754), BMI (AUC = 0.729), and WC (AUC = 0.720) showed similar discrimination in predicting cognitive impairment (p = 0.38). Conclusion: In an autopsy study, larger amount of directly measured abdominal visceral fat was associated with lower odds of cognitive impairment in older adults.

    B Lymphocytes and Macrophages in the Perivascular Adipose Tissue Are Associated With Coronary Atherosclerosis: An Autopsy Study
    (2019) FARIAS-ITAO, Daniela Souza; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos Augusto; NISHIZAWA, Aline; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz da; CAMPOS, Fernanda Marinho; BITTENCOURT, Marcio Sommer; SILVA, Karen Cristina Souza da; LEITE, Renata Elaine Paraizo; GRINBERG, Lea Tenenholz; FERRETTI-REBUSTINI, Renata Eloah de Lucena; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie
    Background Macrophages and T lymphocytes in the perivascular adipose tissue (PvAT) were previously linked to coronary artery disease. However, the role of these cells and B lymphocytes in the human PvAT adjacent to unstable atherosclerotic plaques has not been investigated. Moreover, previous studies were inconclusive on whether PvAT inflammation was restricted to the surroundings of the atheroma plaque. Methods and Results Coronary arteries were freshly dissected with the surrounding PvAT. Atherosclerotic plaques were classified according to the internationally accepted anatomopathological criteria. Immune cells in the PvAT were detected using immunohistochemistry and then quantified. We used linear and logistic regressions with robust standard errors, adjusted for possible confounding factors. In 246 atherosclerotic plaques (205 stable and 41 unstable plaques) from 82 participants (mean age=69.0 +/- 14.4 years; 50% men), the percentage of arterial obstruction was positively correlated with the densities of CD68(+) macrophages (P=0.003) and CD20(+) B lymphocytes (P=0.03) in the periplaque PvAT. The number of cells was greater in the periplaque PvAT than in the distal PvAT (macrophages, P<0.001; B lymphocytes, P=0.04). In addition, the density of macrophages in the periplaque PvAT was greater in the presence of unstable plaques (P=0.03) and was also greater near unstable plaques than in the distal PvAT (P=0.001). CD3(+) T lymphocytes were not associated with percentage of obstruction and stable/unstable plaque composition. Conclusions The density of CD20(+) B lymphocytes and CD68(+) macrophages in periplaque PvAT was increased with plaque size, and the CD68(+) macrophages were greater near unstable atherosclerotic plaques than near stable lesions. This inflammation was more intense in the periplaque PvAT than in the PvAT distal to the atherosclerotic plaques.
