Association of the visceral fat metabolic score with osteoarthritis risk: a cross-sectional study from NHANES 2009–2018
This study finds a possible nonlinear positive correlation between METS-VF and the risk of OA. In addition, METS-VF may serve as an indicator for the more accurate diagnosis of OA and provide a new way to further evaluate the relationship between visceral fat and OA.
