However, discrepancies between self-measured and objectively measured WC may result in misclassification of i...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether dissecting abdominal fat in VAT and SAT using US may detect stronger and more specific association with MS, MS components, hyperuricemia and altered liver enzymes compared to waist circumference. METHODS We perf...
