Paper

Abstract

The role of Klotho in metabolic processes and aging-related conditions is well-established. However, the link between Klotho and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) remains understudied. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between Klotho levels and both VAT area and abdominal obesity.

Research summary

The paper claims that higher serum Klotho concentrations are associated with lower abdominal obesity and visceral adipose tissue in middle-aged adults. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between a biomarker (Klotho) and a metabolic condition (abdominal obesity) that may influence aging processes and age-related diseases.
