| Popis: | Recent studies have demonstrated decreased insulin sensitivity in individuals with low birth weight. This study was performed to examine whether abdominal obesity is a link between insulin resistance and low birth weight. We studied the relationships between birth weight and insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, and various anthropometric indices including visceral fat area in 22 healthy young Korean adults. Birth weight correlated significantly with diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.47, P |
