Central adiposity evaluation may aid venous disorder risk stratification; leaves open prospective trials on targeted interventions.
The prevalence of obesity, particularly central obesity, is increasing globally. It has been identified as a risk factor for not only cardiovascular diseases but also venous disorders. This brief review attempts to revisit the pathophysiology, classification and management of venous disorders in the context of central adiposity
