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.
