Skewness in Body fat Distribution Pattern Links to Specific Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Profiles

High VAT in relation to BMI (z-VAT > 0) was consistently linked to both T2D and CVD; z-LF > 0 was linked to T2D only. Skewed fat distribution patterns showed elevated risk for CVD (z-VAT > 0 and z-LF < 0 and z-VAT > 0 and z-aSAT < 0) and T2D (z-VAT > 0 and z-aSAT < 0).
