Aim: This study evaluated the relationships between body fat accumulation, aerobic capacity and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in 61 Japanese participants. Method: The participants were middle-aged to elderly (age: 33-73; BMI: 21.6-38.5). Body fat mass (FM) was evaluated by hydrostatic weighing. Computed tomography was used to evaluate visceral and subcutaneous fat areas (VFA and SFA), liver to spleen ratio (L/S), and low-density muscle area (LDMA). To assess aerobic capacity, VO2 at the lactate threshold (VO2@LT) and VO2 (peak) were measured using a bicycle ergometer. Results: FM, VFA, SFA, LDMA and L/S significantly correlated with HOMA-IR, but VO2@LT and VO2 (peak) did not. Analysis of covariance after adjustment for VFA or other body fat distribution and aerobic capacity showed that HOMA-IR had a significant linear trend across the tertile groups of L/S. However, for FM, VFA, SFA, LDMA and VO2@LT or VO2 (peak), no significant trend was observed between the tertiles and insulin resistance. Conclusions: Ectopic fat deposition in the liver may influence insulin resistance independently of other body fat accumulation and aerobic capacity in Japanese participants.
