Description |
Aging leads to increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and reduced skeletal muscle density |

Conclusion |
With the limitation of being an observational study, these findings suggest that vat is an important obesity‐related predictor of cardiovascular risk in 70‐year‐old men, and by implication, that decreasing vat may potentially reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. |
