Raheem, Sliz et al. study the serum metabolome and an imaging-based measure of visceral fat in adults and adolescents. The authors find that, independently of BMI, visceral fat quantity is associated with a metabolomic profile similar to those predictive of type 2 diabetes and myocardial infarction.
