- * The study involved 37 FPLD patients and 74 healthy controls, analyzing various parameters such as thigh skinfold thickness and leg fat percentage, alongside genetic testing to classify patients into two groups: FPLD+ and FPLD1.
- * Results indicated a significant statistical difference in key diagnostic parameters between FPLD groups, revealing a new cutoff point of 20 mm for thigh skinfold thickness in women and suggesting that a leg fat percentage below 29.6% could assist in FPL
