DOI: 10.1007/s11255-023-03917-2
Abstract: Abdominal obesity, especially visceral fat, may have negative effects on the development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). A body shape index (ABSI) can more accurately measure visceral fat accumulation. This study aimed to investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000520418
Abstract: Introduction: Abdominal obesity as a risk factor for diagnosing metabolic syndrome (MetS) is evaluated using waist circumference (WC), although WC does not necessarily reflect visceral adiposity. This cross-sectional study aimed to clarify whether replacing WC… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2025.1535655
Abstract: Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is linked to obesity, particularly visceral fat. A more accurate measure of visceral fat accumulation is offered by a body shape index (ABSI). Currently, the direct application of the ABSI to… read more here.
