    John S Ho
    Cooper Clinic, Dallas, Texas, USA
    Am J Cardiol 102:689-92. 2008
    ..In conclusion, there is a continuum of risk as the number of metabolic syndrome risk factors increases. These findings add to the growing evidence that central obesity can independently and adversely affect health...
