Visceral obesity [4] is associated with deterioration of insulin sensitivity [5], increased risk of developing diabetes, and "high-triglycerides (TGs)/low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) dyslipidemia [6]." The identification of a routinely applicable indicator for the evaluation of visceral adipose function, with higher sensitivity and specificity than classical parameters such as waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), and lipids, could be useful for cardiometabolic risk assessment. This evidence concerns the gene INS and metabolic syndrome.
