Visceral, general, abdominal adiposity and atherogenic index of plasma in relatively lean hemodialysis patients

BMC Nephrology, 2018
Background Obesity is a well-established risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, it is unknown which measure of adiposity best relates to atherosclerosis in relatively lean maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.

LIPC variants as genetic determinants of adiposity status, visceral adiposity indicators, and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index-related parameters mediated by serum triglyceride levels

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 2018
Background Visceral adiposity indicators and the product of triglyceride and fasting plasma glucose (TyG) index-related parameters are effective surrogate markers for insulin resistance (IR) and are predictors of metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus.

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).

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 ...

Significantly increased visceral adiposity index in prehypertension. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The prevalence of prehypertension has increased in China, and prehypertension frequently progress to hypertension over a short time period; both have become public health problems. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between

Visceral adiposity index predicts the conversion of metabolically healthy obesity to an unhealthy phenotype.

PLoS ONE, 2017
ObjectiveSome individuals with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) convert to metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) phenotype, and visceral adiposity is one of proposed mechanisms underlying such conversion.

Relationship Between the Visceral Adiposity Index and Peyronie’s Disease [PDF]

, 2023
Objective:We aimed to investigate the relationship between Peyronie’s disease (PD) and the visceral adiposity index (VAI), which is thought to predict visceral obesity homogeneously.Materials and Methods:We included 102 healthy volunteers (Group 1) and ...

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 ...

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 ...
