Challenging the visceral fat paradigm: abdominal subcutaneous adiposity dominates cardiometabolic risk in young, lean Indians

2026-02-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Visceral adiposity is widely regarded as the pathogenic component of central obesity in cardiometabolic disease. However, emerging evidence suggests that abdominal subcutaneous adiposity may also confer metabolic risk in South Asian populations, although data in young, lean individuals are scarce. We investigated associations of MRI-measured abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (ASAT) and vis...
