Aim: To evaluate the genetic associations of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass with
metabolic risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) endpoints and to construct a …

Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with a variety of medical conditions, such as
hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Analyses investigating uric acid and obesity were …

Background Catch-up in weight-for-length in the first year of life results in more insulin
resistance, an adverse lipid profile and more fat mass (FM) in 21-year-old adults born small …

Background Childhood growth hormone treatment has been associated with increased
cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in adults born small for gestational age (SGA) …

Purpose Ectopic fat accumulation and abdominal fat distribution may have different
cardiometabolic risk profiles. This study aimed to assess the associations between various …

Background There are inconsistent interpretations of the interrelationship of adiposity,
anthropometric indices, and blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients. Additionally …

Background Few studies have reported an association between ectopic pancreatic and
hepatic fat and metabolic factors in children with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) …

The objective of the study was to identify associations of longitudinal trajectories of
traditional cardiometabolic risk factors with abdominal and ectopic adipose tissue depots …

Background Multiple risk factors contribute jointly to the development and progression of
cardiometabolic diseases. Therefore, joint longitudinal trajectories of multiple risk factors …

Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to be a risk factor for
