Adiponectin, Adiposity, and Insulin Resistance in Children and Adolescents
Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to describe, in youth, the age- and sex-specific distribution of adiponectin concentrations and the association with demographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle factors, parental diabetes, and markers of IR.
