Prospective analysis of adiposity metrics for complicated acute colonic diverticulitis: Should WSES Classification and visceral adiposity be integrated for predictive analyses?
Our study shows that complicated diverticulitis cases have lower BMI and visceral fat area. We suggest that increased visceral adipose tissue may serve a protective role by preventing these diverticula from developing into more complicated forms. Therefore, visceral adiposity metrics can be integrated in the predictive analyses.
