Differences in body composition between infants of South Asian and European ancestry: the London Mother and Baby Study. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: South Asian children and adults have a more adipose body composition compared with those of European ancestry. This is thought to be related to their increased risk of metabolic disorders. However, little is known about how early in life such
