Paper Title
Comparison of Visceral Fat Distribution and Metabolic Age in CAD Patients

Abstract
Background: Visceral fat is considered as a main offender in setting inflammation and it is a key feature in atherogenesis. Instead of just a fat storage site, now visceral fat is considered as a risk factor than overall obesity. The risk of the CAD increases dramatically with the increasing age. There is a correlation between the visceral fat content and CAD risk. Metabolic age is a novel terminology and not studies in detail in CAD patients. It has been found that visceral fat content was high in middle aged population as compared to younger CAD patients. Aim: Aim of the present study was to evaluate of the association between visceral fat and metabolic age in CAD patients. Results: The study results observed an increased visceral fat content in CAD patients as compared to controls [10.8 (± 3.321)] and [9.15(± 2.49)]. It was also found that there was a significant increase in metabolic age of CAD patients as compared to controls [60.84 (± 10.80)] and [44.0 (± 10.77) ]. Further a statistically significant association was observed between visceral fat and metabolic age of CAD patients (r=0.414). Conclusion: The present study conducted that higher visceral fat content and elevated metabolic age in CAD patients than controls. Keywords - Visceral Fat, Metabolic Age, Coronary Artery Disease
