Visceral Adipose

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is defined as a complex entity that involves the accumulation of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors represented by: abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia [1]. The presence of MS correlates with the risk of cardiovascular disease in people without diabetes mellitus (DM), as well as those with type 2 DM [2-8].Visceral adipose tissue is an active metabolic organ and abdominal obesity is an independent risk factor for metabolic disorder present in MS [9,10,11], associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in children, adolescents and adults [12-15]. Our findings have shown an association of visceral adiposity index (VAI) with MS in both men and women with prediabetes and diabetes, these findings allow us to conclude that VAI is a simple but effective indicator for estimating the presence of MS among adults.

This study aimed to investigate the performance of innovative and traditional cardiometabolic indices, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), visceral adiposity index, lipid accumulation product, a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index, conicity index (CI), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC, in estimating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk in 3143 Taiwanese adults aged 20–79 years. Elevated 10-year ASCVD risk was defined as ≥7.5% using the Pooled Cohort Equations. The performance of different indices in estimating elevated ASCVD risk was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. In multivariate-adjusted logistic regression analyses, all cardiometabolic indices (p-value < 0.001) were significantly associated with elevated ASCVD risk in both genders, except for ABSI and CI in women. In particular, CVAI had the largest area under the curve (AUC) in men (0.721) and women (0.883) in the ROC analyses. BMI had the lowest AUC in men (0.617), while ABSI had the lowest AUC in women (0.613). The optimal cut-off value for CVAI was 83.7 in men and 70.8 in women. CVAI performed best among various cardiometabolic indices in estimating elevated ASCVD risk. CVAI may be a reliable index for identifying people at increased risk of ASCVD.
