A validated estimate of visceral adipose tissue volume in relation to cancer risk
Estimated visceral adipose tissue showed robust performance in UKB and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and was associated with cancer risk independent of BMI and waist circumference. This study provides a potential clinical tool for visceral adipose tissue estimation and underscores that visceral adipose tissue can be an important target for cancer prevention.
