Is regional body fat distribution (elevated trunk fat and reduced leg fat) associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women with normal body mass index?
In postmenopausal women with normal BMI, regional fat distribution (elevated trunk fat and reduced leg fat) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk.
Among postmenopausal women with normal BMI, both elevated trunk fat and reduced leg fat are associated with increased risk of CVD.
Chen et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
