Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) as a simple indicator of “adipose tissue dysfunction” in patients with type 2 diabetes.

, 2013
Although still there is no a clear definition of “adipose tissue dysfunction”, the identification of clinical and biological markers of altered fat distribution and function may provide the needed tools to early identify a condition of cardiometabolic risk. Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) is a mathematical gender-specific index estimated with the use of
