Abstract:Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is an important risk factor for obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, and our previous findings have demonstrated that visceral fat area to skeletal muscle mass ratio (VSR) is significantly and positively associated with the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Hence, this study aimed to the relationship between VSR and multi-organ IR, and provide a new approach to improve body composition, reduce the risk of cardiometabolic diseases in patients with obesity, and also set the b… Show more
