Abstract

Background: Apart from waist circumference, other adiposity measures, such as subscapular skin fold (SST), arouse growing interest due to their relationship to metabolic complications and cardiovascular risk. The IGF-I system is deregulated in obese subjects in proportion to their degree of visceral adiposity. Aim: To examine the association among IGF-I, IGF-binding protein (BP)-1 and -3 levels and different measures of adiposity in a sample of adult male population in Southern Italy. Materials and methods: A complete database for this analysis was available for 229 (age range 50-82 yr) participating at 2002-2004 Olivetti Heart Study follow-up. Results: After adjustment for age, IGF-I was inversely associated with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (p
