TL;DR: In women, the sites of fat predominance offer an important prognostic marker for glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, and hypertriglyceridemia, may be related to the disparate morphology and metabolic behavior of fat cells associated with different body fat distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of girth measurements with disease in 32,856 women
