Visceral fat is associated with high blood cholesterol levels.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that visceral fat is associated with high blood cholesterol levels?

Unclear. Two studies partially support the claim: a 2026 cross-sectional study of 1,135 adults with type 2 diabetes found visceral fat area independently associated with residual cholesterol, and a 2016 Okinawan study found low HDL cholesterol related to visceral fat accumulation in women. Both cover only specific populations, not the general association asserted.
