Association of the metabolic score for visceral fat (METS‑VF) with incident subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in Chinese health‑screening participants: a retrospective cohort study

Visceral adiposity contributes to metabolic dysfunction and atherogenesis; however, whether integrated indices of visceral fat-related metabolic burden are independently associated with incident preclinical vascular disease remains unclear. This study analyzed a large Chinese health-screening cohort to determine...
