Relationship of visceral adiposity index (VAI) and visceral body fat among metabolically obese normal weight individuals from Pakistan
In this study we found positive correlation of visceral adiposity index and visceral body fat by use of Bio impedance analysis machine among metabolically obese normal weight individuals. Visceral adiposity index requires many blood tests while Bio impedance analysis machine can be used in simple outdoor settings hence, we can isolate high risk patient in outdoor settings without any invasive procedures or laboratory investigations.
