Fat score linked to future heart and blood vessel disease

In UK Biobank, high versus low scores were linked to a hazard ratio of 1.63—a relative risk measure—for heart and blood vessel disease.In UK Biobank, high versus low scores were linked to a hazard ratio of 1.63—a relative risk measure—for heart and blood vessel disease.
