Commingling analysis of regional fat distribution measures: the Québec family study.

International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity - 1 Oct 1992

Rice T, Borecki I B, Bouchard C, Rao D C

Abstract excerpt

Regional fat distribution is related to higher risk of diabetes and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, independent of excess body mass for height. In particular, the male (android) pattern of fat deposition, which is characterized by greater truncal and abdominal fat stores relative to extremity fat levels, is associated with a higher propensity to metabolic complications. Motivated by these considerations,...
