Paraspinal myosteatosis is elevated in diabetes but does not enhance metabolic risk prediction beyond BMI, demonstrating it is metabolically distinct from hepatic steatosis.

Hepatic steatosis and paraspinal myosteatosis are metabolically distinct ectopic fat depots. Although paraspinal fat is elevated in diabetes, it does not enhance metabolic risk prediction beyond BMI. These findings support organ-specific lipid pathways and highlight the need for longitudinal and volumetric analyses to clarify their independent clinical roles.
