Despite similar body mass index and waist circumference between the RA and control groups, the adjusted mean VFA was 45 cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> higher (+51%) in male RA patients versus male controls (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.005), but did not significantly differ by RA status in women.

Elevated VFA (\u226575th percentile) was associated with a significantly higher adjusted probability of having an elevated fasting glucose level, hypertension, or meeting the composite definition of the metabolic syndrome in the RA group compared with controls. Within the RA group, rheumatoid factor seropositivity and higher cumulative prednisone exposure were significantly associated with a higher mean adjusted VFA. Higher C\u2010reactive protein levels and lower Sharp\/van der Heijde scores were significantly associated with both VFA and SFA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The distribution of abdominal fat differs significantly by RA status. Higher VFA in men with RA, and the more potent association of VFA with cardiometabolic risk factors in men and women with RA, may contribute to cardiovascular risk in RA
