Since it was proposed in this journal in 2001, the cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI) has been an important parameter for assessing cranial shape. However, different publications currently use different variables in the denominator of the CVAI formula. We thus investigated the use of long and short diagonal lengths as variables in the denominator of the CVAI formula. We searched the databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus for articles published between 2016 and 2022 that cited the original work article of CVAI. Articles were included if they were written in English and if the denominator of the CVAI formula was specified. For multiple articles by the same author, only the most recent article was included. In total, 30 articles were included; 10 articles used the longer diagonal length as the denominator and 20 articles used the shorter diagonal length. No uniform trend was observed by a country or journal of publication. Application of the CVAI formula using different denominators yielded interchangeable results, and the resulting values had only negligible differences clinically. However, it would be necessary to create a standard formula for using the CVAI as a parameter for reporting cranial shape assessments consistently.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and the production of neutralizing antibodies (NAb) after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, highlighting the importance of understanding how visceral fat affects vaccine efficacy.
- - Health workers who were part of the study showed a median NAb titer of 12.94 AU/mL post-vaccination, with those in the CVAI dysfunction group having significantly lower NAb levels and higher inflammation markers compared to the reference group.
- - The findings suggest that high CVAI could hinder NAb production through immune dysfunction and chronic inflammation, emphasizing the need for targeted vaccination strategies for individuals with high visceral adiposity to enhance overall vaccination effectiveness against COVID-

Objective: This study aimed to explore the association between the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and cardiometabolic multimorbidity in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
Methods: The data used in this study were obtained from a national cohort, the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, 2011-2018 wave). The CVAI was measured using previously validated biomarker estimation formulas, which included sex, age, body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Background And Aims: To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI), chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in populations with different body types defined by BMI.
Methods And Results: 24 191 participants from the Jinchang cohort were involved in the prospective cohort study with a 2.3-year follow-up.
Comparison of seven surrogate insulin resistance indexes for predicting the prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis in normal-weight individuals.

Department of Neurology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between surrogate insulin resistance (IR) indexes and carotid atherosclerosis (CA) in normal-weight populations, as well as compared their ability to predict CA.
Method: A total of 26,795 middle-aged and older adult individuals with normal body weights were included. Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), TyG-body mass index, TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), TyG-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR), visceral adiposity index, Chinese VAI (CVAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP) were determined using established formulas.
