| Abstract |
Cesarean section (CS) has been associated with obesity, measured by body mass index (BMI), in some studies. It has been hypothesized that this association, if causal, might be explained by changes in gut microbiota. However, little is known about whether CS is also associated with increased adiposity as measured by indicators other than BMI. OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between CS and indicators of peripheral and central adiposity in young adults. |
