Elevation in cardiovascular disease risk in South Asians is mediated by differences in visceral adipose tissue.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Jun 2012

Lear Scott A, Chockalingam Arun, Kohli Simi, Richardson Chris G, Humphries Karin H

Abstract excerpt

South Asians have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that remains largely unexplained.
