ImpactModerate impact

There is a recognition that these findings could influence future research and health strategies, though some posts are more speculative.

Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review investigated the link between the ratio of visceral to subcutaneous abdominal fat and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), finding that a higher VATtoSAT ratio is generally associated with increased CVD risk.
  • Through analyzing 27 studies from 2010 to 2023, the review highlights that fat distribution in the abdomen, especially a higher visceral fat proportion, can serve as an important prognostic indicator for various CVDs like hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure.
  • The findings emphasize the significance of abdominal fat distribution, particularly the VATtoSAT ratio, in predicting cardiovascular health, which could help in early detection and prevention strategies for CVDs.]
