| Abstract |
Overweight and obesity differentially affect bipolar disorder (BD) and are associated with a poorer prognosis. Herein, we sought to evaluate body fat distribution in a well-characterized BD sample. Anthropometric measures (i.e., body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, waist circumference, hip circumference, and lipometry) of 100 BD individuals were compared with data of 57 matched mentally healthy controls. Additionally, fasting serum parameters including metabolic parameters and monoamines were analyzed. Findings indicate that similar to US BD cohorts, Austrian patients exhibit an increased central body fat accumulation (i.e., higher subcutaneous adipose tissue at upper abdomen) accompanying with the harmful IDF-defined metabolic syndrome. In addition, positive associations between epinephrine as well as staging and fat parameters were detected. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 January 2016.
All research outputs
#19,221,261
of 23,815,455 outputs
Outputs from European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience
#987
of 1,243 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#191,203
of 264,912 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience
#20
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,815,455 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,243 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 264,912 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
