abstract = {High levels of adiposity in the population have a major
impact on various diseases, but previous epidemiologic
studies have largely been restricted to simple
anthropometric measures such as the body mass index (BMI),
an imperfect predictor of disease risk. There is a critical
need for the use of improved measures of relative weight and
body composition in large-scale, population-based
research.The current article presents initial descriptive
results of body composition and fat distribution based on
the midterm baseline dataset of the German National Cohort,
which included 101,817 participants who were examined in
18 study centers in Germany between March 2014 and March
2017. The anthropometric measures encompassed body weight,
height, waist and hip circumference, bioelectrical impedance
analysis (BIA), sonography of abdominal adipose tissue,
3D-body scanning, and magnetic resonance imaging.BMI
analyses showed that $46.2\%$ of men and $29.7\%$ of women
were overweight and $23.5\%$ of men and $21.2\%$ of women
were obese. On average, women in almost all age groups
demonstrated more subcutaneous adipose tissue layer
thickness than men. The mean values of visceral adipose
tissue layer thickness, on the other hand, were higher among
men than among women in all age groups and increased
continuously across age groups in both sexes.The
comprehensive assessment of body composition and fat
distribution provides novel future opportunities for
detailed epidemiologic analyses of overweight and adiposity
in relation to the development of chronic diseases.},
