The relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), hematocrit, mean platelet volume, total white blood cell counts, Visceral Adiposity Index, and Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2 (SCORE2) in patients without diabetes

ConclusionA significant relationship was found between HbA1c and the current CVD risk score, SCORE2, in our patient group without DM. Our study is the first to examine this relationship in the literature. While no relationship was found between SCORE2 and body mass index (BMI), a significant relationship was found with the VAI. This indicates that CVD risk is more associated with visceral fat accumulation than total weight. Evaluating patients with normal BMI based on VAI will be beneficial in demonstrating CVD risk.
