Overview

Supports race-specific adiposity-metabolic links in obese women; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

P
Population
50 obese nondiabetic premenopausal women (25 black, 25 white) with similar BMI, percentage body fat, and wide range of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR 0.7-0.95 for black women and 0.7-0.9 for white women)
O
Outcome
Insulin sensitivity index (SI), glucose and insulin areas under the 2-h curve (AUCs) during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and blood lipidssurrogate

Similar levels of total body and visceral adiposity are associated with different metabolic risk factors in black compared to white obese premenopausal women.
