Predictive Power of Body Visceral Adiposity Index, Body Adiposity Index and Body Mass Index for Type 2 Diabetes in Qatari Population [PDF]

, 2020
Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased recently in Qatar. Body mass index (BMI) is a predictor of T2D in many populations. However, BMI is based on height and weight measurements and not on body adiposity.

The CUN-BAE, Deurenberg Fat Mass, and visceral adiposity index as confident anthropometric indices for early detection of metabolic syndrome components in adults

Scientific Reports, 2022
There is no definition for the metabolic syndrome; visceral obesity, elevated lipids and glucose, and hypertension coexist. The aim of the study is to determine which anthropometric indicators best determine it.

, 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 adiposity index is associated with insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and β-cell dysfunction in subjects at risk for type 2 diabetes

Diabetes Epidemiology and Management, 2021
Background: Increased visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, and β-cell dysfunction predispose to type 2 diabetes (T2D). The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) is an indicator of visceral fat function obtained from the association between BMI, Triglycerides,

Changes in the Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) Among Obese Older Adults After a 12-Month Exercise and Diet Intervention [PDF]

Curr Dev Nutr, 2021
Objectives The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) was developed to estimate adipose tissue dysfunction as well as visceral fat distribution. In an ancillary analysis of the CROSSROADS Study (clinicaltrials.gov #{"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT00955903","term_id":"NCT00955903"}}NCT00955903), this study investigated the effects of exercise with
