Implication

May refine metabolic risk stratification beyond anthropometrics; extends associations but leaves causal targeting open.

Structured PICO

O
Outcome
Adverse metabolic risk profilesurrogate

Visceral adipose tissue is more strongly associated with adverse metabolic risk profiles than subcutaneous fat, highlighting its role as a unique pathogenic fat depot.
