A Beneficial Role for Gluteofemoral Adipose Tissue in Cerebrovascular Disease
This study supports a protective role of gluteofemorally distributed fat volume in CVD risk. Although this role is predominantly mediated by common vascular risk factor modification, adipose tissue-specific factors may exert a mediatory effect, suggesting a possible novel target for attenuating adiposity-related CVD risk.
