Poster Abstract
Our research aim was to determine the association between appendicular adiposity and hypertension to better elucidate the role of body fat distribution on blood pressure (BP).
Many studies have provided evidence for the inverse association between leg adiposity and metabolic syndrome criteria.
Hypertension (HT) subtypes have unique age distributions and associated risk factors. BMI ± triglycerides are major risk factors for isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH).
