Correlations between adipose tissue volume changes and its baseline MR-characteristics in people with obesity undergoing a caloric restriction

Results of weight loss interventions differ individually. MRI-based quantification and characterization of adipose tissue (AT) offers methods to identify possible AT-phenotypes that facilitate AT loss. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate how, in people with obesity undergoing an 8-week formula-based weight loss intervention, the relative AT and lipid volume loss of the subcutaneous and visceral AT depot correlate to the proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and the total volume of AT as well as the volume of lipids in each depot at the beginning of the diet.
