Examining the relationship between anthropometric and body composition measures with coronary heart disease events: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis
Higher FM, waist-to-height ratio, and waist circumference were associated with increased risk for hard CHD events while higher FFM was associated with decreased risk. This highlights the potential importance of lifestyle interventions to build muscle and minimize adiposity for the prevention of CVD and strengthens the call for the inclusion of alternative methodologies to define obesity and measure body composition in the clinical setting.
