Clinical utility of visceral adipose tissue for the identification of cardiometabolic risk in white and African American adults
TLDR
Because of the complexity of measuring VAT, the use of WC is recommended for the identification of adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk factors and showed greater clinical utility than did other obesity measures.About:

TL;DR: This scientific statement was designed to provide the current state of knowledge about sex differences in the cardiovascular consequences of DM, and it will identify areas that would benefit from further research because much is still unknown about sex Differences in DM and CVD.

The Official Positions of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry: Body Composition Analysis Reporting
Steven M. Petak,Carmen Barbu,Elaine W. Yu,Roger A. Fielding,Kathleen Mulligan,Brian Sabowitz,Chih Hsing Wu,John A. Shepherd +7 more
TL;DR: These guidelines provide evidence-based standards for the reporting and clinical application of DXA-based measures of body composition and use the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004 body composition dataset as an age-, gender-, and race-specific reference and to calibrate BMC in 4-compartment models.

American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Clinical Guidelines: The Validity of Body Composition Assessment in Clinical Populations

TL;DR: No recommendations can be made at this time to support the use of US or BIA in the clinical setting, as data to support its validity in any specific patient population are limited in scope or by the proprietary nature of manufacture-specific BIA regression models to procure body composition data.

Genome-wide association studies suggest sex-specific loci associated with abdominal and visceral fat.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for new loci influencing abdominal visceral (BBS9, ADCY8, KCNK9) and subcutaneous (MLLT10/DNAJC1/EBLN1) fat, and confirmed a locus (THNSL2) previously reported to be associated with abdominal fat in women.

Worse cardiometabolic health in African immigrant men than African American men: reconsideration of the healthy immigrant effect.
Michelle Y O'Connor,Caroline K Thoreson,Madia Ricks,Amber B. Courville,Francine Thomas,Jianhua Yao,Peter T. Katzmarzyk,Anne E. Sumner +7 more
TL;DR: African immigrants were less obese than African Americans but had worse cardiometabolic health, specifically higher glucose levels, more hypertension, and greater visceral adiposity, suggesting the healthy immigrant effect may no longer be valid.

TL;DR: Dairy therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol, and drug therapy is reserved for patients who are considered to be at high risk for CHD, and the fundamental approach to treatment is comparable.

TL;DR: A nonparametric approach to the analysis of areas under correlated ROC curves is presented, by using the theory on generalized U-statistics to generate an estimated covariance matrix.

TL;DR: It was agreed that there should not be an obligatory component, but that waist measurement would continue to be a useful preliminary screening tool, and a single set of cut points would be used for all components except waist circumference, for which further work is required.
