Abstract

AIMS: Although obesity is associated with chronic disease, a large section of the population with high BMI does not have an increased risk of metabolic disease. Increased visceral adiposity and sarcopenia are also risk factors for metabolic disease in people with normal BMI. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques can help assess and analyze body composition parameters for predicting cardiometabolic health. The purpose of the study was to systematically explore literature involving AI techniques for body composition assessment and observe general trends.
