Abstract
Aguilar-Ramirez et al. examine cross-sectional associations between adiposity and metabolic traits among Mexican adults. Their findings suggest that higher total and central adiposity relate adversely, whilst higher gluteo-femoral adiposity relates favourably, to numerous metabolic factors relevant to disease risk.
