Why the study?
Obesity is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, prompting evaluation of CT-measured abdominal fat volumes and their association with anthropometric indices and lipid profile.
How do CT-derived abdominal fat parameters correlate with anthropometric indices and lipid profiles in obese versus non-obese individuals?

CT abdominal fat volumes may refine CV risk evaluation in obesity; leaves open whether associations improve prediction or outcomes.
How do CT-derived abdominal fat parameters correlate with anthropometric indices and lipid profiles in obese versus non-obese individuals?
CT-assessed visceral fat area correlates significantly with anthropometric and lipid parameters, serving as a sensitive predictor of cardiovascular risk.
