Population

338 healthy men and women aged 18 to 55 years

Outcome

Relationships between central adiposity, insulin sensitivity, metabolic indices, and measures of cardiac structure and functionsurrogate

Central adiposity and insulin resistance play an initiating role in the cardiometabolic syndrome, significantly impacting preclinical cardiovascular structure and function such as diastolic blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand.
