The association of changes in the Chinese visceral adiposity index and cardiometabolic diseases: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The relationship between changes in Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) in middle-aged and elderly individuals remains unclear. This study aimed to explore whether changes in the CVAI were associated with CMD incidence.

Methods

This study included 3,243 individuals aged over 45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. The exposures were changes in the CVAI and cumulative CVAI from 2012 to 2015. Changes in the CVAI were classified using K-means clustering analysis, and the cumulative CVAI was calculated as follows: (CVAI₂₀₁₂ + CVAI₂₀₁₅)/2 × time (2015-2012). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the relationship between different CVAI change classes and CMD inci
