  Aim: Visceral distribution of adipose tissue (AT) is one of the key components of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Plasma concentrations of leptin and adiponectin are closely linked to AT distribution. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, is linked to metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this study is to describe the extent of the usefulness of the Leptin/Adiponectin (L/A) ratio as a marker of MetS. Methods: Leptin and adiponectin concentrations, magnetic resonance image-based of visceral and subcutaneous fat measurements, and carotid PWV were analyzed in the subjects of a French prospective cohort composed of 97 subjects not presenting metabolic syndrome (MetS-), 122 patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS+) without diabetes, and 94 type 2 diabetics (T2D) with MetS.
