Are serum adiponectin concentrations in a population sample of 64‐year‐old Caucasian women with varying glucose tolerance associated with ultrasound‐assessed atherosclerosis?

Objective.  To examine whether serum adiponectin concentrations were associated with subclinical atherosclerosis assessed as intima media thickness (IMT) in the carotid arteries in Caucasian women with varying degrees of glucose tolerance.
