Diagnostic property of anthropometric indicators in the prediction of high body fat estimated by DXA in hypertensive women
Excess body fat is an important risk factor for the development of arterial hypertension. The aim of this study was to verify the diagnostic performance of anthropometric indicators in the prediction of excess body fat estimated by Dual-energy Radiometric Absorptiometry (DXA) in hypertensive women....
