Comparison of association between intrathoracic and abdominal visceral adipose tissue areas with metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic risk factors: a cross-sectional study
Both VAT and IAT were associated with CMRFs, but VAT had a slightly stronger correlation with all CMRFs than IAT. After adjusting for sex, age, and BMI, VAT was an independent factor of MS rather than IAT. VAT may have slightly better predictive value for MS and the presence of two or more CMRFs.
