摘要
目的:本研究拟在大规模人群队列中评估超重和肥胖的不同指标与动脉粥样硬化患病之间的关系。背景:虽然肥胖与心血管性死亡有关,但是尚不清楚这种关系是否由增加的动脉粥样硬化负荷所介导。方法:使用来自Dallas心脏研究的资料,作者评估了性别特异性的肥胖指标犤即体重指数(BMI)、腰围(WC)、腰臀比(WHR)犦与动脉粥样硬化患病之间的关系,

Methods: Using data from the Dallas Heart Study, we assessed the association between gender-specific obesity measures(i.e., body mass index [BMI]; waist circumference [WC]; waist-to-hip ...
