<p>Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat (METS-VF) Estimation – A Novel Cost-Effective Obesity Indicator for Visceral Adipose Tissue Estimation</p>

Abstract

This is the first study to validate the utility of METS-VF as a surrogate measure of visceral adiposity in south Indian individuals with morbid obesity. Given the simplicity, easy availability, reliability and inexpensive nature of this obesity indicator, it may find its widespread use in lower middle-income countries.
