Background Aging leads to increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and reduced skeletal
muscle density. To which extent these are associated with the risk of stroke, myocardial …

Background. Skeletal muscle fat infiltration (myosteatosis) increases with aging, and has
been associated with poor metabolic and musculoskeletal health, independent of overall …

Background Men and women are labeled as obese on the basis of a body mass index (BMI)
using the same criterion despite known differences in their fat distributions. Subcutaneous …

Background Limited studies have explored the association between visceral adipose tissue
(VAT) mass and fat‐to‐muscle mass ratio (FMR) and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the sex …

Background Abdominal obesity has long been considered as a crucial risk factor of stroke.
Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), a novel surrogate indicator of abdominal obesity …

Background and aims Visceral adiposity index (VAI), an indicator of visceral fat, is
associated with metabolic health and arterial stiffness. However, studies correlating VAI and …

Background Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and other measures of central obesity predict
incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events in middle‐aged individuals …

The relation between measures of general and central adiposity and individual
cardiovascular endpoints remains understudied in older adults. This study investigated the …

Background and aims Understanding contributions of lean and fat tissue to cardiovascular
and non-cardiovascular mortality may help clarify areas of prevention in older adults. We …

Background To determine whether differences in body composition contribute to sex
differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, we investigated the relationship …
