A high level of retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is reported to be associated with insulin resistance in humans. However, evidence from large-scale populations about the relationship between serum RBP4 and metabolic phenotypes is scarce. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate serum RBP4 distribution and its association with metabolic phenotypes among middle-aged and elderly Chinese.
