Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As hip circumference may reflect body muscle mass and peripheral subcutaneous fat, we hypothesized that preserved muscle mass is predictive for resistance to obesity-associated insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities. In the present study, we tested this hypothesis by analyzing relationship between lean body mass and insulin resistance/metabolic abnormalities. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |

| We further determined the best body measure reflecting lean body mass. | — |
