The association between visceral fat and blood pressure in adults

This cross-sectional study investigates the association between body composition measurements and blood pressure in Malay adults. A total of 296 adults, aged between 18 to 59 years, consisting of 122 males and 174 females underwent measurements of weight and height, waist and hip circumference, bo...
