Article Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the association of pulse pressure (PP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) by gender in Korean adults. This study used the data of 4960 adults at age ≥20 years, from the 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. In the overall population ( = 4960), after adjustment for related variables and with quartile 1 of VAI as a reference, the odds ratios of high PP (PP >60 mmHg) was significantly higher in quartile 3 [1.32 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.71)] and quartile 4 of VAI [1.40 (95% CI, 1.07-1.83)]. In women ( = 2784), the OR of high PP, with quartile 1 of VAI as a reference, was significantly higher in quartile 3 [2.36 (95% CI, 1.55-3.61)] and quartile 4 of VAI [2.70 (95% CI, 1.77-4.12)]. In men ( = 2176), high PP was not associated with the quartiles of VAI. In addition, after adjustment for related variables, the PP level was positively associated with the quartiles of VAI in the overall population ( < 0.001) and women ( < 0.001, but not in men ( = 0.316). VAI was positively associated with PP in Korean women, but not in Korean men.

To explore the correlation between Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) so as to evaluate its predictive value for MAFLD. Six hundred and thirteen cases admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University from June 2022 to August 2023 were selected and divided into the MAFLD group (=312) and the non-MAFLD group (=301) according to the diagnostic criteria of MAFLD. The clinical data differences between the two groups were compared.

Introduction: The association between the visceral adiposity index (VAI) and cognitive function in middle-aged and older Chinese adults is not well understood. The "obesity paradox"-where obesity appears to be linked with better health outcomes-has also been observed. This study aims to clarify the association by using data from a nationally representative longitudinal survey.

Aims: To examine the relationships of abdominal obesity indices [visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and waist circumference (WC)] with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in varying glucose metabolism statuses populations.
Methods: This study utilized NHANES data (1999-2018), including 17,718 participants, and linked mortality documents from the National Death Index through December 31, 2019. Participants were categorized by glucose metabolism status into diabetes mellitus (DM), prediabetes (Pre-DM), or normal glucose regulation (NGR), and separately categorized as quartiles based on abdominal obesity indices.

Aims: This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the association of triglyceridemic-waist phenotype, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index with prediabetes and diabetes (PAD) using data from the Ningxia Cardiovascular Disorders and Related Risk Factors Survey.
Materials And Methods: This study included 10,803 patients. Logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic splines were applied to identify the association between the PAD and each index.

To examine the interaction between gender and the visceral adiposity index (VAI) in relation to the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the public Dryad database derived from the NAGALA (NAFLD in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) project (1994-2016). Participants were stratified into quartiles based on VAI levels.
