Visceral Adiposity Index
OBJECTIVE To individuate a novel sex-specific index, based on waist circumference, BMI, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol, indirectly expressing visceral fat function. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Visceral adiposity index (VAI) was first modeled on 315 nonobese healthy subjects. Using two multiple logistic regression models, VAI was retrospectively validated in 1,498 primary care patients in ...
متن کاملVisceral adiposity and risk of type 2 diabetes: a prospective study among Japanese Americans.
OBJECTIVE We conducted a prospective study among Japanese Americans of diabetes incidence in relation to visceral and regional adiposity, fasting insulin and C-peptide, and a measure of insulin secretion, because little prospective data exist on these associations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Baseline variables included plasma glucose, C-peptide, and insulin measured after an overnight fast a...
متن کاملSignificantly Increased Visceral Adiposity Index in Prehypertension
BACKGROUND The prevalence of prehypertension has increased in China, and prehypertension frequently progress to hypertension over a short time period; both have become public health problems. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between the Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) and blood pressure (BP) in China. METHODS A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was conduct...
متن کاملVisceral Adiposity Index (VAI) Is Predictive of an Altered Adipokine Profile in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
AIMS Although there is still no clear definition of "adipose tissue dysfunction" or ATD, the identification of a clinical marker of altered fat distribution and function may provide the needed tools for early identification of a condition of cardiometabolic risk. Our aim was to evaluate the correlations among various anthropometric indices [BMI, Waist Circumference (WC), Hip Circumference (HC),...
متن کاملVisceral Adiposity Index A reliable indicator of visceral fat function associated with cardiometabolic risk
RESULTS — All components of metabolic syndrome increased significantly across VAI quintiles. VAI was independently associated with both cardiovascular (odd ratio [OR] 2.45; 95% CI 1.52–3.95; P 0.001) and cerebrovascular (1.63; 1.06–2.50; P 0.025) events. VAI also showed significant inverse correlation with insulin sensitivity during euglycemichyperinsulinemic clamp in a subgroup of patients (Rs...
