Relationship of Fat Mass Ratio, a Biomarker for Lipodystrophy, With Cardiometabolic Traits
12 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) is a heterogenous group of syndromes associated with a high prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases. Prior work has proposed DEXA-derived fat mass ratio (FMR), defined as trunk fat percentage divided by leg fat percentage, as a biomarker of FPLD, but this metric has not previously been characterized in large cohort studies.
