Conclusion: The visceral fat area serves as an independent risk factor for DPN in individuals with T2DM. Implementing measures to assess and manage visceral obesity could be vital in the prevention and management of DPN. This underscores the value of technologies such as BIA in clinical and community settings for early intervention.
