Clinical Thresholds for Visceral Adiposity Accumulation: A Comparative Analysis in Sex‐, Age‐, and BMI‐Matched Black and White Adults
Abstract
This study aimed to prospectively identify visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation thresholds in a cohort of sex‐, age‐, and BMI‐matched non‐Hispanic White and Black adults using a range of commonly employed whole‐body and abdominal‐specific adiposity measures associated with chronic disease risk.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence.
