The Normal Limits, Subclinical Significance, Related Metabolic Derangements and Distinct Biological Effects of Body Site-Specific Adiposity in Relatively Healthy Population

Abstract

In our study, we observe that age-related body-site specific accumulation of adipose tissue may have distinct biological effects. Compared to other adiposity measures, peri-aortic adiposity is more tightly associated with cardiometabolic risk profiles and subclinical atherosclerosis in a relatively healthy population.
