Hazard Ratios1 (HRs) an 95% confidence interval of all-cause mortality per increase in abdominal visceral adipose (A) density2(g/cm2), (B) volume (cm3), (C) mass (g). The increase in each parameter being defined in individual studies as the standard deviation of the parameter considered or as a fixed number. 1Result reported as hazard ratio (HR), unless indicated otherwise. 2Result reported as the most dense abdominal visceral adipose tissue quintile Q5, compared to the least dense visceral adipose tissue quintile Q1. 3Odds ratio (OR). * Unadjusted or adjustment does not include BMI and glycemic parameters; Britton et al. (11) HR adjusted for age and sex. Kuk et al. (10) OR adjusted for age, follow-up time, abdominal subcutaneous fat, and liver fat. Ballinet al. (34) unadjusted HR. ** Adjustment includes BMI and/or glycemic parameters; Murphy et al. (27), AGES-Reykjavik: HR adjusted for age, education, body mass index, area of respective fat depot, sagittal diameter, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, comorbid conditions, time of computed tomography scan, weight history (% change from midlife) and prior hospitalization. Murphy et al. (27), Health ABC: HR adjusted for age, race, study site, education. body mass index, fat area of respective fat depot, sagittal diameter, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, comorbid conditions. weight history (% change from midlife) and prior hospitalization. Britton et al. (11) HR adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, current smoking, hypertension treatment, and body mass index. De Santana et al. (33) OR adjusted for age, low level of physical activity, recurrent falls, high alcohol intake, diabetes mellitus, previous cardiovascular event, serum phosphorus, calcium, albumin, 25‐OH Vitamin D and total hip BMD T‐score. OR for women not provided in paper. Ballinet al. (34) HR adjusted for sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, education, income, marital status, total fat mass, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, previous stroke/MI/angina pectoris, prescribed antihypertensives/anticoagulants/lipid-lowering agents, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and muscle density.
