- Visceral obesity, measured by indices like ABSI, is linked to increased all-cause mortality in cancer survivors based on two large population cohorts (NHANES and CHARLS).
- Among six visceral obesity indices and BMI, only ABSI consistently showed a significant linear association with higher mortality risk in both cohorts, with the highest ABSI level linked to an 80% increased risk in NHANES.
- Neutrophil levels mediated part (16.77%) of the ABSI-mortality relationship in NHANES, suggesting a potential inflammatory pathway, and findings were robust in subgroup and sensitivity analyses.
- The study suggests ABSI may be a valuable independent predictor for survival in cancer survivors, aiding clinical assessment to identify high-risk individuals and guide interventions.
