Evaluation of Intra-Abdominal Fat Contents in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Using a Novel Non-Invasive Method of Bioelectric Impedance
The main aim of this study is to compare 2 different measurements of visceral fat that can
be easily used in clinical practice (waist circumference versus bioelectric impedance) in
relation to known risk factors of coronary artery disease in a large cohort of patients with
type 2 diabetes and with a BMI range between 20-45 kg/m2
