Ratio of visceral‐to‐subcutaneous fat area predicts cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes

To investigate whether the ratio of visceral fat area (VFA) to subcutaneous fat area (SFA; V/S ratio) could be predictive of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as compared with VFA or SFA in patients with diabetes.
