Sex disparities in the associations of overall versus abdominal obesity with the 10-year cardiovascular disease risk: Evidence from the Indonesian National Health Survey
Abdominal fat accumulation showed stronger associations with 10-year CVD risks than overall adiposity, particularly in women. Although men had higher overall CVD risks, women experienced more detrimental cardiovascular effects of obesity. Raising awareness of abdominal/visceral obesity and its more damaging cardiovascular effects in women is crucial in preventing CVD-related morbidity and mortality.
