Predictive performance of seven clinical surrogates of visceral adipose tissue for cardiovascular mortality: A sub-analysis of 102,385 adults from the Mexico City Prospective Study
In this large cohort of Mexican adults, four VAT-related clinical surrogates, particularly METS-VF, demonstrated good discriminatory performance for long-term CVD mortality. These indices could help to identify individuals with high VAT accumulation and high CVD risk in resource-limited settings.
