Associations Between Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat and Venous Thromboembolism Among 118 619 Participants With Metabolic Syndrome: Insights From Epidemiology to Genetic Susceptibility.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome substantially elevates venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk, increasing health care burdens. The Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat (METS-VF) offers a novel, simplified approach to assess visceral fat. This study evaluates METS-VF's association with VTE risk and its utility for risk stratification in patients with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: Using UK Biobank data, we included 118 619...
