Metabolic score for visceral fat: a novel tool for assessing stroke risk in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults - evidence from the CHARLS cohort study.

In the final model (Model III), the study showed that for every one-unit increase in MetS-VF, the risk of stroke increased by 40% [HR: 1.47, 1.23–1.76)]; further analysis, where MetS-VF was converted into a categorical variable, showed that after fully controlling for confounding factors, there was still a positive trend between MetS-VF and stroke risk ( P trend=0.0213).
