Visceral fat area measured by CT correlates strongly with metabolic syndrome markers and apolipoprotein abnormalities, suggesting its utility in evaluating atherogenicity during health screenings.
Shiina et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy individuals undergoing health screening (n=607). Visceral fat area (VFA) vs. Lower VFA was evaluated on Correlation between visceral fat area and coronary risk factor markers. Visceral fat area measured by CT exhibited significant positive correlations with waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, and ApoB/LDLC ratio, and a negative correlation with HDL cholesterol and adiponectin.
