| Abstract: | Background The relationship between BMI and leptin has been studied extensively in the past, but previous reports in postmenopausal women
have not been conducted under carefully controlled dietary conditions of weight maintenance using precise measures of body
fat distribution. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between serum leptin concentration and adiposity
as estimated by BMI and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measures (percent body fat, central and peripheral fat, and
lean mass) in postmenopausal women. |
