May support visceral adiposity and metabolic syndrome assessment in practice; leaves open prospective validation for cardiovascular risk stratification.
Evaluating adipose tissue quality, rather than just quantity, is crucial for diagnosing adipose tissue dysfunction and assessing cardiovascular and metabolic risk.
Schrover et al. (2016) conducted a review in Adipose tissue dysfunction. Diagnostic modalities for adipose tissue dysfunction was evaluated. In daily clinical practice, high quantity of visceral adipose tissue, insulin resistance, or presence of the metabolic syndrome are easy and low-cost diagnostic modalities to evaluate adipose tissue dysfunction.
