Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple studies consistently demonstrate that circulating leptin levels have a strong positive correlation with total body fat mass and body mass index.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that leptin levels correlate directly with total body fat mass, showing significant positive correlations across various demographics including adults, adolescents, and children. No papers refute this fundamental physiological relationship.
