Twelve healthy South Asian and 12 healthy white European premenopausal women matched for age and body composition (Table 1) completed two, 2-day trials in a counterbalanced, crossover design during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. SA P Value Mean SD Mean SD Age (years) 24.2 6.2 24.3 5.3 −5.1 to 4.8 0.945 Body mass index (kg·m−2) 23.3 3.8 23.9 4.0 −3.9 to 2.7 0.700 Body fat ( %)1 31.1 7.3 30.9 5.3 −5.6 to 5.9 0.944 Visceral adipose tissue (L)2 1.14 0.93 0.88 0.27 −0.40 to 0.83 0.469 Maximal oxygen uptake (mL·kg−1·min−1) 34.8 5.1 40.5 8.5 −11.6 to 0.3 0.060 1 Determined by bioelectrical impedance; 2 determined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging. [...]healthy South Asian women exhibited higher postprandial triacylglycerol concentrations after high fat meals of small-to-moderate magnitude, but acute brisk walking reduced postprandial lipaemia more in South Asian than white European women. 1.
