Is visceral adiposity index associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Visceral adiposity index is positively and non-linearly associated with multiple cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, suggesting its utility as a risk marker.
Visceral adiposity index score is positively correlated with angina, heart attack, stroke, hypertension, and coronary heart disease, but not heart failure, and the relationships between VAI score and angina, hypertension, and coronary heart disease are non-linear.
