Abstract: ObjectiveIn a recent study, we found that Greenlandic Inuit children had a more adverse metabolic profile than Danish children. Aerobic fitness and adiposity could only partly account for the differences. Therefore, we set out to evaluate and compare plasma leptin and adiponectin levels in Danish and Inuit children.MethodsIn total, 187 Inuit and 132 Danish children (5.7–17.1 years) had examinations of anthropometrics, body fat content, pubertal staging, fasting blood and aerobic fitness.ResultsPlasma leptin wa… Show more

Ten (67 %), forty-three (61 %) and forty-nine (53 %) children reported eating fish (excluding shellfish) 8 times/month (or 2 times/week) or more in Siorapaluk, Qaanaaq and (19,23) . Moreover, the data presented here are only from the children for whom quality dietary data were available.…”
