ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The association between body mass index (BMI) and nerve conduction study (NCS) amplitudes has not been adequately studied in overweight and obese subjects. Our aim was to estimate the impact of high BMI on NCS amplitudes and NCS summary measures. Methods One hundred and se...
