Visceral Adiposity index (VAI) – a potential marker of cardiometabolic risk [PDF]

Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2018
The importance of cardiovascular/cardiometabolic risk is a special one, because it may influence atherogenesis and its clinical consequences: ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, but also diabetes mellitus (DM).

Dietary determinants of changes in waist circumference adjusted for body mass index - a proxy measure of visceral adiposity [PDF]

, 2010
Background Given the recognized health effects of visceral fat, the understanding of how diet can modulate changes in the phenotype “waist circumference for a given body mass index (WCBMI)”, a proxy measure of visceral adiposity, is deemed necessary ...

Is vulnerability to cardiometabolic disease in Indians mediated by abdominal adiposity or higher body adiposity. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Indians may be particularly vulnerable to cardiometabolic disease, potentially due to higher body fat for a given BMI, or a tendency towards depositing abdominal adiposity.

Visceral adipose accumulation increased the risk of hyperuricemia among middle-aged and elderly adults: a population-based study

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2019
Background The role of body fat distribution in uric acid metabolism is still ambiguity. We aimed to investigate the independent contribution of visceral adipose measured by visceral adiposity index and lipid accumulation product and liver fat assessed ...

The association of visceral adiposity with cardiovascular events in patients with peripheral artery disease [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Previous studies have suggested that patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) suffer from a high incidence of cardiovascular events (CVE). Visceral adiposity has been implicated in promoting CVEs.

Surrogate markers of visceral adiposity in young adults: waist circumference and body mass index are more accurate than waist hip ratio, model of adipose distribution and visceral adiposity index.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Surrogate indexes of visceral adiposity, a major risk factor for metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, are routinely used in clinical practice because objective measurements of visceral adiposity are expensive, may involve exposure to radiation, and ...

Visceral Adiposity and Insular networks: Associations with Food Craving [PDF]

, 2018
Background/objectives: Accumulation of visceral adiposity can disrupt the brain’s sensitivity to interoceptive feedback, which is coded in the insula. This study aimed to test the link between visceral fat and the functional connectivity of two insulae ...

Effects of additive interactions among obesity, visceral adiposity, and sarcopenia on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Scientific Reports, 2023
Although the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with obesity or sarcopenia is known, few studies have investigated the combined effect of various body composition parameters on the risk of NAFLD.
