Visceral Adiposity Correlation

Meaning

Visceral Adiposity Correlation describes the strong, clinically significant statistical relationship between the accumulation of fat tissue around the internal organs (visceral fat) and various adverse health outcomes, particularly metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk. This correlation highlights visceral fat as a distinct, highly metabolically active endocrine organ that contributes significantly to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance, making it a critical metric in longevity medicine.
