While cross-sectional findings suggest that FSH is inversely associated with adiposity, our longitudinal findings suggest that greater increases in FSH were associated with greater increases in percentage of total body fat, total body fat mass, and SAT. Future studies are needed to provide additional insight into FSH-adiposity mechanisms in larger samples.
