    CKM syndrome combines cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and metabolic disorders, with increasing prevalence linked to obesity.

  • 2

    The METS-VF index integrates multiple factors to better predict cardiometabolic risk compared to traditional metrics like BMI.

  • 3

    Insulin resistance is a key factor connecting visceral fat and cardiovascular disease within CKM syndrome.

  • 4

    The study aims to analyze METS-VF profiles and their relationship with cardiovascular disease incidence across CKM syndrome stages.

  • 5

    Findings may clarify the mediating role of insulin sensitivity in the link between visceral fat and cardiovascular disease.
