Abstract
The objective of this study was to elucidate the role of fat distribution in predicting insulin resistance in peri- or post-menopausal women. The results demonstrated that insulin resistance increases with waist circumference and subscapular skinfold thickness but decreases with higher thigh circumflex in the peri- and post-menopausal women. ? 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
