Visceral adipose tissue mass fell by a median delta of -49 g (95% CI -80.5 to -18.5; q=0.006) in 279 men completing two preventive care evaluations in Paris.
- Why it matters: The study addresses uncertainty about whether multidimensional preventive programs produce measurable within-person cardiometabolic improvements over time, beyond noise from repeated testing or broader trends.
- What they did: In a prospective observational cohort using routinely collected data, men had standardized assessments at CU1 (Oct 2022–Nov 2025) and CU2 (by May 2026), with paired within-individual analyses across continuous markers and threshold transitions.
- The result: Visceral adiposity decreased while other markers showed mixed stability, implying this program is linked to favorable fat reduction in this selected group, though causality can’t be separated from regression to the mean or secular effects.
