Association of visceral fat area or <scp>BMI</scp> with arterial stiffness in ideal cardiovascular health metrics among <scp>T2DM</scp> patients

Abstract

In patients with T2DM, using VAT for anthropometric measures of obesity, VFA was more relevant to cardiovascular risk than BMI in the seven ICVHMs. For anthropometric measures of obesity in the ICVHMs to describe cardiovascular risk VFA would be more optimal than BMI.
