Abstract
Rationale: Obesity is a metabolic disease, currently of an epidemic nature. The disease is often accompanied by unintentional weight gain associated with excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, which is a factor contributing to the development of hyperlipidemia and increased cardiovascular risk in this group of patients [1]. A new anthropometric parameter that indirectly reflects the risk of cardiometabolic complications related to overweight or obesity is the visceral adiposity index (VAI) [2].
