Visceral adiposity index is strongly associated with hyperuricemia independently of metabolic health and obesity phenotypes
Abstract Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a novel sex-specific index for visceral adipose function; however the association between VAI and hyperuricemia in China is unknown. We aimed to investigate this association, also whether it was independent of metabolic health and obesity phenotypes. 7632 a...
