Why the study?
Are total and high-molecular-weight adiponectin and resistin associated with future risk for type 2 diabetes in women?
Are total and high-molecular-weight adiponectin and resistin associated with future risk for type 2 diabetes in women?
Higher levels of total and high-molecular-weight adiponectin are strongly and inversely associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in women, independent of BMI.

Supports adiponectin for risk stratification in women; leaves open causality and clinical utility.
Heidemann et al. (2008) studied this question.
