Body fat distribution, plasma lipids, and lipoproteins.
The relation of body fat distribution as measured by the ratio of waist to hip circumferences (WHR) to plasma levels of lipids and lipoproteins was studied in 713 men and 520 women who were employed by two Milwaukee companies. Quetelet index (kg/m2), waist girth, hip girth, and WHR were each positively related to levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, and the ratio of tot...
