This study explored the relationship between visceral adiposity index (VAI) and cervical arterial atherosclerosis in a total of 3688 residents aged ≥40 in northeast China. The VAI could be a practical indicator for cervical artery atherosclerosis, especially for carotid plaque and moderate‐to‐severe atherosclerosis (multiple plaques and stenosis). The correlations were more significant in non‐overweight or obese, non‐central obesity and non‐hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype (HTWP) participants
