Paper

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat (METS-VF) and all-cause mortality among community-dwelling older adults, and to evaluate the potential mediating effect of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in this relationship.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

The study claims that higher metabolic scores for visceral fat are associated with increased risk of arterial stiffness and long-term all-cause mortality. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between metabolic health and longevity, potentially addressing underlying factors that contribute to aging and age-related diseases.
