Association of metabolic score for visceral fat and risk of arterial stiffness and long-term all-cause mortality: a 10-year prospective study
Our study confirms the independent association between METS-VF and all-cause mortality in the community-dwelling elderly. The findings are consistent with a partial mediation effect of arterial stiffness in this relationship, providing insights into a potential underlying mechanism.
