Abstract
Recent investigations have demonstrated associations between hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, cardiovascular disorders, stroke and death on one hand, and obesity and adipose tissue (AT) distribution on the other (Krotkiewski et al., 1983; Evans et al., 1983; Larsson et al., 1984; Lapidus et al., 1984; Seidell et al., 1988; Sjöström et al., 1989). One important prerequisite for an increased knowledge in this field is improved body composition techniques.
