Associations between abdominal obesity indices with hypertension in type 2 diabetes mellitus: Chinese visceral adiposity index

ConclusionWe found that CVAI was highly positively correlated with HTN in T2DM. Compared with other indices of abdominal obesity, such as WC, BMI, WHR, VAI, and LAP, the CVAI showed superior discriminative ability in T2DM complicated with HTN. Therefore, more attention should be paid to CVAI in T2DM.
