Relationship between the Chinese visceral adiposity index and gout in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Visceral adiposity indices have recently attracted considerable attention in metabolic and cardiovascular research. Here, the link between the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) and gout in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was investigated.

Methods

This cross-sectional analysis evaluated 14,099 adults with T2DM. The CVAI-gout relationship was investigated using restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling to assess dose-responsiveness. Multivariable logistic regression was applied, with adjustments for demographic and metabolic covariates. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were performed across clinically relevant strata, and ROC curves were applied to assess the utility of the CVAI in discriminate patients with gout.
