NEO visceral adipose tissue data [internal covariate-validation study]

Description

Insulin resistance, waist circumference, sex, age, total body fat and visceral adipose tissue of 650 individuals from the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) study. Visceral adipose tissue measurements were taken of approximately 40% of the individuals, at random.

Usage

vat

Format

A data frame with 650 rows and 6 variables:

ir_ln

Natural logarithm of insulin resistance (fasting glucose (mmol/L) x fasting insulin (mU/L) / 22.5)

wc

Waist circumference (standardised, cm)

sex

Sex (0 = male, 1 = female)

age

Age (years)

tbf

Total body fat (standardised, %)

vat

Visceral adipose tissue (standardised, cm^2)

Details

This is a simulated data set inspired by the NEO data <doi:10.1007/s10654-013-9801-3>. A motivating example using the example data can be found here: <doi:10.1093/aje/kwab114>
