Longitudinal associations between metabolic score for visceral fat and hyperuricemia in non-obese adults

Background and aims The assessment of visceral adiposity is of great significance for the prevention of hyperuricemia (HUA), especially in non-obese individuals. The metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) is a newly proposed surrogate of visceral obesity. We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal associations of METS-VF with the risk of HUA in non-obese adults. Methods and results A total of 16,058 non-obese adults without HUA were included for...
