Adiposity and metabolic health in Asian populations: An epidemiological study using Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry

2023-09-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and related cardiometabolic disturbances are increasing rapidly in the Asia-Pacific region. We investigated the contribution of excess adiposity, a key determinant of diabetes and cardiovascular risk, to unfavourable cardiometabolic profiles amongst Asian ethnic subgroups. <h4>Methods</h4> The Health for Life in Singapore (HELIOS) Study is a population-based co...
