AbstractFew studies about the relationship of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level with visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP) in large Chinese population are available. The aim of this study was to explore whether TSH level within the reference range was associated with these two newer reliable cardiovascular risk factors. The data were obtained from a cross-sectional study (SPECT-China study, 2014–2015), which was based on the population. Participants underwent several checkups, which included anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, TSH levels, and glucose and lipid profiles. VAI and LAP were calculated. A total of 8727 subjects were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 53.00±13.05 years. Age, female to male ratio, BMI, systolic pressure, and HOMA-IR increased along with the increasing levels of TSH (p<0.01). Analysis of lipid profile showed significantly higher serum triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels in the higher TSH quartile (p<0.001 and p=0.028, respectively). The levels of VAI and LAP were all increased along with increasing TSH level (all p<0.001). After full adjustment, TSH levels were positively associated with VAI, LAP, and TG/HDL levels significantly (B=0.041, 0.028 and 0.037, respectively, all p<0.01). Higher TSH concentrations among the reference range were common in older people as well as in women subjects, and they were positively associated with VAI and LAP. This highlighted that even subtle variations of serum TSH within the normal range may be potential risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is defined as a complex entity that involves the accumulation of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors represented by: abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia [1]. The presence of MS correlates with the risk of cardiovascular disease in people without diabetes mellitus (DM), as well as those with type 2 DM [2-8].Visceral adipose tissue is an active metabolic organ and abdominal obesity is an independent risk factor for metabolic disorder present in MS [9,10,11], associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in children, adolescents and adults [12-15]. Our findings have shown an association of visceral adiposity index (VAI) with MS in both men and women with prediabetes and diabetes, these findings allow us to conclude that VAI is a simple but effective indicator for estimating the presence of MS among adults.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to obtain the cutoff points of visceral adiposity index (VAI), a new marker of indirect evaluation of visceral fat, to assess its association with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a population of children and adolescents.<br /> Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on children and adolescents aged 7-18 years attended in the fifth phase of a national school-based surveillance survey. The odds ratio (OR) of cardiometabolic risk factors across tertile categories of VAI was determined using the logistic regression models and the valid cut-off values of VAI for predicting MetS was obtained using the receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.<br /> Results: A total of 3843 students (52.3% boys, 12.3 [12.2-12.4] years) were included in the analysis. The mean of VAI was significantly higher in participants who had MetS (2.60 [2.42-2.78] vs 1.22 [1.19-1.25]; P <0.001). Participants in the third tertile compared to the first tertile category of VAI had higher odds of abdominal obesity (OR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.43-2.20), impaired fasting blood glucose (OR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.28-3.13) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR: 15.93, 95% CI: 12.27-20.66). The cut-off points of the VAI for predicting MetS were 1.58, 1.30 and 1.78 in total population, boys and girls, respectively.<br /> Conclusion: We determined the cut-off points of VAI as an easy tool for detecting MetS in children and adolescents and demonstrated that VAI is strongly associated with MetS. Prospective longitudinal studies are suggested to show the possible efficiency of the VAI as a predictor of MetS in pediatrics.
