Associations between metabolic score for visceral fat and adult lung functions from NHANES 2007-2012.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity is a significant part of the factors affecting lung function, and the assessment of obesity using the Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat (METS-VF) is more precise than other indicators like waist circumference and body mass index. This study investigated the relationship between lung function and METS-VF in The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 2007 to 2012.

Method

The data utilized in this study was obtained from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning the years 2007 to 2012. A multivariate linear regression analysis was employed to investigate the association between METS-VF and lung function, followed by subgroup analysis to identify populations that may exhibit heightened sensitivity.
