Significantly 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
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 Index: An Indicator of Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) has recently proven to be an indicator of adipose distribution and function that indirectly expresses cardiometabolic risk. In addition, VAI has been proposed as a useful tool for early detection of a condition of cardiometabolic risk before it develops into an overt metabolic syndrome. The application of the VAI in particular populations of patients (women wi...
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...
متن کاملVisceral adiposity syndrome
The association of anthropometric (waist circumference) and hemodynamic (blood pressure) changes with abnormalities in glucose and lipid metabolism has been motivation for a lot of discussions in the last 30 years. Nowadays, blood pressure, body mass index/abdominal circumference, glycemia, triglyceridemia, and HDL-cholesterol concentrations are considered in the definition of Metabolic syndrom...
