【 摘 要 】

Highlights This study is the first to find a significant positive association between the baseline visceral adiposity index (VAI) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in normal-weight adults with hypertension. The present study is also the first to indicate a stronger linear positive relationship between VAI and PAD in male participants but not in females.
