Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The association between adult height and coronary artery disease (CAD) was established a decade ago. Accumulating evidence has since linked adult height to a variety of cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). As waist-hip ratio (WHR) has become an increasingly important independent risk factor in addition to body mass index, we aim to assess whether leg-height ratio (LHR) could also be a risk factor...
