Abstract
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is negatively correlates with adiposity in adult humans. Near-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy has been used to noninvasively measure the density of BAT (BAT-d). We examined the relationship between body adiposity and total hemoglobin concentration in the supraclavicular region ([total-Hb]sup), that is a parameter for BAT-d, in healthy children (113 boys and 127 girls, aged 1 month to 5 years). Age and [total-Hb]sup were significant predictors of the Kaup index and subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness. BAT-d, determined by [total-Hb]sup, was negatively associated with body adiposity in infants, which is in line with the result found in adults.
