... BACKGROUND: Diets high in saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and greater abdominal obesity are both associated with raised low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations, an independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk marker. Although reducing SFA intake is a public health strategy for CVD prevention, the role of body fat distribution on the relationship between SFA and LDL-C is unclear. T ...

Abstract:
... Excessive adiposity in pregnancy is associated with an altered cardiometabolic profile and adverse maternal and offspring outcomes. Pre-pregnancy body mass index (pBMI) is a proxy measure for adiposity that is most often used in clinical settings; however, it may not identify at-risk pregnancies caused by adiposity-related cardiometabolic dysfunction. The challenge is that validated direct adiposi ...
