Associations of body shape phenotypes with sex steroids and their binding proteins in the UK Biobank cohort
Abstract Associations of sex steroids and their binding proteins with body shape are unclear, because waist and hip circumference are correlated strongly with body size. We defined body shape using “a body shape index” (ABSI) and hip index (HI), which are independent of weight and height by design,...
