Association Between Relative Leg Length and Insulin Resistance in Rural, Urban and Rural–Urban Migrant Populations of Peru
Longer leg length was associated with lower insulin resistance values, with a greater interaction effect observed among the rural-urban migrant and urban groups. These findings support the hypothesis that metabolic disorders in adults may be traceable to nutritional and developmental conditions early in life.
