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).

Relationship of visceral adiposity index (VAI) and visceral body fat among metabolically obese normal weight individuals from Pakistan. [PDF]

Obes Pillars
An increasing number of people throughout the world are suffering with visceral obesity. Accumulation of visceral fat is a pathogenic manifestation of global fat dysfunction, that leads to inflammation, atherosclerosis, abnormal lipid levels, and high blood pressure.This association study was conducted at Department of Medicine, Mayo Hospital Lahore ...

Novel genomic variants related to visceral adiposity index (VAI) and body adiposity index (BAI) in Indian sib-pairs

International Journal of Obesity, 2023
BACKGROUND: Obesity is among the leading public health threats globally. Over the last few years, visceral adiposity index (VAI), and body adiposity index (BAI), derived from anthropometric, and biochemical measures, have gained importance as a measure ...

Age-adjusted visceral adiposity index (VAI) is superior to VAI for predicting mortality among US adults: an analysis of the NHANES 2011-2014. [PDF]

Aging Clin Exp Res
Abstract Background The association of visceral adiposity with mortality in older adults is conflicting. Whether age influences the predicting ability of visceral adiposity (VAI) for mortality remains unknown. This study uncovered the relationship between age-adjusted visceral adiposity index and mortality through the ...

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.

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

Journal of Urological Surgery, 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 ...

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.

Gender-specific anthropometric markers of adiposity, metabolic syndrome and visceral adiposity index (VAI) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

Journal of Sleep Research, 2014
Obstructive sleep apnea often coexists with visceral adiposity and metabolic syndrome. In this study, we analysed gender-related differences in anthropometrics according to sleep apnea severity and metabolic abnormalities.

Association between Visceral Adiposity Index, Binge Eating Behavior, and Grey Matter Density in Caudal Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Severe Obesity

Brain Sciences, 2021
Visceral adipose tissue accumulation is an important determinant of metabolic risk and can be estimated by the visceral adiposity index (VAI). Visceral adiposity may impact brain regions involved in eating behavior.

Anthropometric markers of adiposity and visceral adiposity index (VAI) in patients with OSA

European Respiratory Journal, 2013
Visceral adiposity is frequent in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and OSA is associated with the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in both genders. The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) has been recently proposed as a marker of cardiometabolic risk in ...
