Ok. But what does that mean? “Cardiometabolic advantage”?
As opposed to cardiovascular apparently
Cardiometabolic risk factors include, at minimum, abdominal obesity (waistline 40 inches or more in men, 35 inches or more in women); high fasting triglycerides; low ‘good’ HDL cholesterol; and elevated blood pressure. These four factors together are often referred to as metabolic syndrome.
