Non-linear association between visceral adipose tissue area and serum uric acid concentration in US adults: findings from NHANES 2011–2018
This study demonstrates a positive, non-linear association between VAT area and SUA concentrations in young and middle-aged U.S. adults. The observed threshold effect provides valuable insight for clinicians in stratifying risks for hyperuricemia and related comorbidities, particularly among individuals with elevated VAT levels.
