In women living with obesity, abdominal SAT volume, especially sSAT, is associated with circulating leukocytes and inflammatory proteins. In men, these parameters mainly show associations with VAT volume. This could be because only in women, sSAT volume is associated with sSAT expression of inflammatory proteins. These findings underscore that future research on adipose tissue in relation to cardiometabolic and cardiovascular disease should take sex differences into account.
