METHODS: A comprehensive search strategy was used to retrieve all human observational studies indexed in PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases/search engines (from Jan 2000 up to Oct 2023). The VAT-to-SAT or SAT-to-VAT ratio was an independent variable and various cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and heart failure, were considered as outcomes of interest.
RESULTS: Out of 1173 initial studies, 910 papers were screened. Based on the inclusion criteria, 883 papers were excluded. Finally, 27 papers (18 cross-sectional and 9 cohort studies) published between 2010 and 2023 which met the inclusion criteria were reviewed.
CONCLUSIONS: The distribution of abdominal fat seems to be associated with the risk of CVDs; the majority of the evidence suggests that a higher abdominal VAT-to-SAT ratio is associated with the development of CVDs. Therefore, this ratio can be used as a prognostic indicator for CVDs.
BACKGROUND: Not applicable.
方法:使用综合搜索策略来检索PubMed索引的所有人类观察研究,Scopus和GoogleScholar数据库/搜索引擎(从2000年1月至2023年10月)。增值税与SAT或SAT与增值税的比率是一个独立变量,各种心血管疾病,包括高血压,动脉粥样硬化,冠心病,脑血管疾病和心力衰竭,被认为是感兴趣的结果。
结果:在1173项初步研究中,共筛选了910篇论文。根据纳入标准,883篇论文被排除在外。最后,审查了2010年至2023年之间发表的符合纳入标准的27篇论文(18篇横断面研究和9篇队列研究)。
结论:腹部脂肪的分布似乎与心血管疾病的风险有关;大多数证据表明,较高的腹部增值税与SAT比率与心血管疾病的发展有关。因此,该比值可作为心血管疾病的预后指标.
背景:不适用。
