(38) evaluated the association between the VAT measured by USG and cardiometabolic risk variables, finding a strong and direct correlation of VAT with fasting and 2-h plasma glucose (r = 0.26, p < 0.001; r = 0.28, p < 0.0001, respectively), fasting and 2-h plasma insulin (r = 0.41, p < 0.0001 for both), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; r = 0.42, p < 0.0001), Framingham cardiovascular score (r = 0.44, p < 0.0001), and vascular age (r = 0.30, p < 0.001). Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
