Population

1,538 healthy persons from Arita-cho, a rural area of Japan (608 subjects also underwent echocardiography)

Outcome

Relationship between plasma adiponectin level, plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, and cardiac functionsurrogate

Plasma adiponectin levels are independently associated with plasma BNP and cardiac dimensions in healthy individuals, suggesting adiponectin reflects cardiac function.
