ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

AIM:

The Dysfunctional Adiposity Index (DAI) is a clinical surrogate for evaluating adipose tissue functionality and cardiometabolic health. However, its association with Pericardial Fat Volume (PFV) has not been tested. The aim of this study was to evaluate DAI- PFV association, stratified by type 2 diabetes (T2D) status, and identify DAI thresholds for detecting increased PFV among patients without premature CVD. METHODS AND

RESULTS:

Participants from the GEA-Mexican study underwent a computed tomography scan to measure PFV. Adjusted logistic regression analyses tested the association between DAI and PFV. AUROC curves evaluated DAI's ability to identify elevated PFV (≥57.57 cm³), and the Youden method determined DAI thresholds, along with diagnostic metrics. The study analyzed 997 participants (women 55%; mean age 54 ± 9 years; median PFV 42 cm³ [IQR 29-58]), with a 13% prevalence of T2D. DAI was positively associated with elevated PFV (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.07-1.70), which was more pronounced among subjects with T2D (OR 3.01, 95% CI 1.41-6.40). DAI thresholds were established for all participants (>1.176), individuals without T2D (>1.003), and with T2D (>1.936), yielding sensitivities of 71%, 81%, and 57%, and specificities of 48%, 38%, and 75%, respectively. The adjusted logistic regression tied DAI thresholds to a 1.68-fold elevation in PFV for all, 2.06-fold for those without T2D, and 6.81-fold for those with T2D.

CONCLUSION:

DAI was positively associated with increased PFV, particularly among participants with T2D. Established DAI thresholds demonstrated good diagnostic values for detecting increased PFV. DAI could serve as an accessible marker to identify PF in clinical settings.
