Association of Visceral Adiposity, Core Skeletal Muscle Mass, Atherogenic Index of Plasma, and Renal Function (CKD-EPI) with Framingham Cardiovascular Risk Score in Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background

Cardiovascular risk prediction increasingly incorporates markers of adiposity, muscle composition, and metabolic function. This study examined the associations among visceral adiposity, Core Skeletal Muscle Mass (CSMM), Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), and renal function assessed using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation in relation to the Framingham Cardiovascular Risk Score (FRS) in adults, aiming to elucidate their interrelated contributions to Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) prevention.
