Effect of intensity of physical activity on body fatness and fat distribution

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1990
To evaluate the effect of intensity of physical activity on body fatness and fat distribution, observations of 1366 women and 1257 men who participated in the 1981 Canada Fitness Survey were analyzed.

Studies in the Distribution of Body Fat

JAMA, 1989
Cross-sectional associations between smoking habits, body mass index, and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were examined in 1122 men aged 19 to 102 years.
