Abstract
In normal weight obese women the cardiovascular risk indexes are related to metabolic variables and to body fat mass distribution. NWO individuals showed a relationship between the decrease in LEAN of the left leg and an increase in CVD risk factors. We suggest that LEAN distribution seems to be a potential predictor of CVD.
