Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) Levels and Metabolic Risk Across Phenotypes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). [PDF]

Medicina (Kaunas)
Background and Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder often associated with metabolic disturbances such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a validated marker that reflects visceral fat distribution and cardiometabolic risk.

Visceral adiposity index outperforms conventional anthropometric assessments as predictor of diabetes mellitus in elderly Chinese: a population-based study

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2021
Background This study assessed the performance of visceral adiposity index and body shape index in predicting diabetes mellitus (DM) risk and compared their predictive ability to that of body mass index and waist circumference.

The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) and Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP) Are Predictors of Insulin Resistance and Hyperandrogenaemia in Obesity/Overweight Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Biomed Res Int, 2023
Objective. Hyperandrogenaemia and insulin resistance (IR) are the main characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Here, we study to find appropriate markers predicting IR and hyperandrogenaemia of women with PCOS in northwest China. Methods. According to body mass index (BMI), 953 patients with PCOS were divided into two groups.

Visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and product of triglycerides and glucose (TyG) to discriminate prediabetes and diabetes. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractThe present study evaluated the ability of the visceral adiposity index (VAI), the lipid accumulation product (LAP), and product of triglycerides and glucose (TyG), three novel, insulin resistance-related markers, to discriminate prediabetes/diabetes in the general German population.

Evaluation of the accuracy of anthropometric clinical indicators of visceral fat in adults and elderly. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Visceral obesity is associated with higher occurrence of cardiovascular events. There are few studies about the accuracy of anthropometric clinical indicators, using Computed Tomography (CT) as the gold standard.

Association between physical activity and visceral adiposity index (VAI) in U.S. population with overweight or obesity: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]

BMC Public Health
Previous studies have revealed the effects of different physical activity (PA) types on visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation in individuals with overweight/obesity. However, the independent association (especially the dose-response relationship) between PA and VAT in individuals with and without overweight/obesity remains less explored.

The Role of Different Methods in Defining Cardiometabolic Risk and Metabolic Syndrome in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Life, 2023
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most frequent endocrine illnesses, often accompanied by visceral adiposity and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Visceral adiposity is an accurate predictor of MetS and cardiometabolic risk.

Correlation between Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in patients with hypertension: a study based on NHANES 2001-2018. [PDF]

BMC Cardiovasc Disord
Hypertension is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases globally and is closely related to congestive heart failure (CHF). In this study, we explored the correlation between the risk of CHF in individuals with hypertension and the visceral adiposity index (VAI).This study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES ...

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 ...
