Body composition, bone mineral density and fractures in late postmenopausal women with polycystic ovary syndrome - a long-term follow-up study.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Abdominal visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissues contribute to obesity, but may have different cardiometabolic risk profiles. We examined and compared the associations of abdominal VAT and SAT with metabolic risk factors in a large cohort of Chinese adults. METHODS:This study was based on cros...
