Body adiposity indicators and cardiometabolic risk: cross-sectional analysis in participants from the PREDIMED-Plus trial

Excess adiposity is associated with poor cardiometabolic (CM) health. To date, several techniques and indicators have been developed to determine adiposity. We aimed to compare the ability of traditional anthropometric, as well as standard and novel DXA-derived parameters related to overall and regional adiposity, to evaluate CM risk.
