Comparative Predictive Value of Three Visceral Adiposity Indices for Cardiovascular Disease: A 17.5‐Year Korean Cohort Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 5751-5760, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide, with excess visceral adipose tissue (VAT) being identified as an independent indicator of poor cardiovascular outcomes. We examined the association between three indices of VAT, namely, metabolic score for visceral fat (METS‐VF), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and ...
