Associations between visceral adipose and renal artery calcification: Results from the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis
VAT area and density are not significantly associated with RAC presence, while greater VAT area is significantly associated with RAC severity among those with RAC > 0. Our results are the first describing the relationship between VAT and RAC, and are in contrast to previous literature demonstrating a significant association between VAT and coronary artery calcification.
