Changes in Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and -II Associated with Fat but not Lean Mass in Early Old Age [PDF]
Objective: To test the hypothesis that insulin-like growth factors-I and II (IGF-I and II) decline during late midlife and that greater declines are related to higher fat mass and lower lean mass.

Lean mass predicts asthma better than fat mass among females [PDF]
The obesity phenotype associated with asthma is not known. Our objective was to define the relative contribution of various distributions of fat and lean mass to asthma prevalence.Data were obtained from 2,525 participants (including 1,422 females) who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at the year 20 examination in the Coronary Artery ...
