Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the association between the serum leptin level and body mass index (BMI) and the effects of urbanization and polymorphisms of leptin (LEP) or leptin receptor (LEPR) genes on the leptin level in three Solomon Islands populations. METHODS: A Melanesian population living in a remote area (participants: 106 males and 106 females, ages: 18-74 years), a Melanesian population in an urban...
