Fig Scatterplots showing the relationship between waist-hip ratio or serum adiponectin and the severity of lower limb artery disease. Waist-hip ratio was correlated with ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) (a, r = −0.41; P = .001). Serum adiponectin was correlated with ABPI (b, r = 0.31; P = .01), maximum walking distance (MWD) (c, r = 0.26; P = .04), and initial claudication distance (ICD) (d, r = 0.36; P = .005).
