The relationship between anthropometric indexes of adiposity and vascular function in the FATE cohort

Abstract

AbstractObjective:Numerous indexes of adiposity have been proposed and are currently in use in clinical practice and research. However, the correlation of these indexes with measures of vascular health remain poorly defined. This study investigated which measure of adiposity is most strongly associated with endothelial function.Design and Methods:Data from the Firefighters And Their Endothelium (FATE) study was used. The relationships between …
