Abstract in brief
The study developed a new anthropometric model called VATTAATSAAT that predicts visceral adipose tissue (VAT) without needing medical imaging like CT scans, by using a combination of specific body measurements such as waist and thigh circumferences adjusted for age and BMI.
The model works by subtracting the thigh circumference from the waist circumference to better estimate VAT, and it was tested on a large group of patients in Marseille, showing high accuracy and sensitivity, especially in women and men, with no systematic errors.
These findings suggest that the VATTAATSAAT model can reliably predict VAT in different age and BMI groups, making it a useful, cost-effective alternative to imaging for assessing abdominal fat in populations in France.]
this takes 5 minutes and anyone can do it. This method is as accurate as a DXA scan (!!!) and predicts risk of diabetes and even death from heart disease

@NutritionMadeS3 The calculator for men includes weight but your formula for men, consistent with https://t.co/yN2t1oIuPN does not. I am confused. Can you provide a formula equivalent to the calculator that does include weight for men?
Short video showing how you can estimate visceral fat.
