Circulating levels of adipokines are elevated with adiposity and are closely linked with the clustering of traditional metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of metabolic syndrome to several adipokines and the role of total and visceral adiposity in influencing this relationship in older adults.
