The conversations suggest the potential for meaningful impact in accessible health monitoring, though mostly based on enthusiasm and preliminary assessments.

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.]

@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?
