The aim of this study was to evaluate its usefulness in assessing cardiometabolic risk in a sample of elderly women living in a rural\u2010urban community in central Poland.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 365 women aged 65 to 74\u00a0years were included in this cross\u2010sectional study. All patients were interviewed to obtain their history of diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, stroke, and revascularization. For all participants, anthropometric measurements were performed, then body mass index (BMI) and waist\/hip ratio were calculated. Blood pressure was measured on the arm and on both ankles, and the ankle\/brachial index was calculated. Blood samples were collected for the assessment of glycemia, lipid profile, and creatinine level. In patients with elevated fasting glucose, the test was repeated, or an oral glucose tolerance test was performed where appropriate. Finally, carotid intima\u2010media thickness was measured in all women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The VAI of participants was significantly correlated with a history of myocardial infarction, higher carotid intima\u2010media thickness, diabetes, prediabetes, and impaired kidney function. Furthermore, VAI demonstrated a better correlation with these endpoints than BMI or waist circumference.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The VAI can be considered a useful tool for the assessment of cardiometabolic disease risk in elderly women, with a score of \u22652.71 representing the cut\u2010off point for identifying females at high risk. In such patients, screening for cardiovascular disease, abnormal glucose metabolism, and impaired kidney function should be routine practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/dmrr.3052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,1]],"date-time":"2018-08-01T12:33:28Z","timestamp":1533126808000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Visceral adiposity index as a useful tool for the assessment of cardiometabolic disease risk in women aged 65 to 74"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Tadeusz","family":"Derezi\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Primary Care Clinic \u201cEsculap\u201d  Gniewkowo Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2995-9971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorota","family":"Zozuli\u0144ska\u2010Zi\u00f3\u0142kiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Diabetology Poznan University of Medical Sciences  Pozna\u0144 Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4631-1176","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Uruska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Diabetology Poznan University of Medical Sciences  Pozna\u0144 Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4431-834X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariusz","family":"D\u0105browski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rzeszow  Rzesz\u00f3w Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc09-1825"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1476-511X-10-183"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atherosclerosis.2011.11.045"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000343145"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"A5","article-title":"2017 Guidelines on the management of diabetic patients.
