Introduction: Obesity is a major risk factor for mortality from a range of causes. We investigated whether skinfold measurements predict mortality independently of variation in body mass index (BMI).Methods: A prospective analysis of mortality in 870 apparently healthy adult Caucasian men participating in an occupational health cohort was undertaken. At baseline, skinfold measurements were taken at biceps, triceps, iliac and ...

Body fat distribution by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and metabolic risk factors in intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT)-defined high and low insulin sensitivity normoglycaemic, overweight men

Loh Wann Jia , Stevenson John C , Johnston Desmond G , Godsland Ian F

Background: Increased adiposity is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk but among overweight individuals clarification is needed of relationships between insulin sensitivity, fat distribution and metabolic health that might contribute to this risk.Methods: During the Heart Disease and Diabetes Research Indicators in a Screened Cohort (HDDRISC) study, 560 employment cohort normoglycaemic (FPG less than 7...
