  1. BMI, body mass index; CVD, cardiovascular disease; IDI, integrated discrimination improvement index; NRI, net reclassification improvement index; VAI, visceral adiposity index; WHpR, waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR, waist-to-height ratio
  2. a. Negative signs indicate less predictive ability for VAI as compared to the general CVD algorithm, WHtR, WHpR, or BMI
  3. b. Calculated in accordance with D'Agostino, R.B., Sr., et al., General Cardiovascular Risk Profile for Use in Primary Care: The Framingham Heart Study. Circulation, 2008. 117(6): p. 743-753
  4. For cut-point based NRI, the cut-points were set at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 of estimated risk
