Cardiometabolic risk stratification using a novel obesity phenotyping system based on body adiposity and waist circumference

Our classification system allows to gradually estimate the cardiometabolic risk according to BF% and WC, thus representing a novel and useful tool for both research and clinical practice.PMID:38453570 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2024.02.027
