Major gene influence on the propensity to store fat in trunk versus extremity depots: evidence from the Québec Family Study.

Obesity research - 1 Jan 1995

Abstract excerpt

Regional fat distribution is related to higher risks of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, independent of general obesity. In particular, a centralized pattern of fat deposition, characterized by greater abdominal stores relative to extremity stores, is associated with a higher propensity to metabolic complications. Motivated by these considerations, we have initiated a systematic investigation of several...
