Body Composition and Metabolomics in the Alberta Physical Activity and Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (OR09-02-19)

Recent metabolomics studies have identified metabolic correlates of body mass index (BMI), but the degree to which correlations are driven by fat mass as opposed to lean mass has not been established. Our objectives were to 1) replicate findings of BMI-metabolite correlations, and 2) to describe the contributions of FM and LM to the BMI-metabolite associations. The Alberta Physical Activity and Breast Cancer Prevention Trial was a two-center...
