Differential fat depot associations with intrahepatic fat should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for depot-specific predictors in steatosis.
Cross-Sectional (n=275)
p-value: p=<0.006
Intrahepatic fat is differentially associated with abdominal fat subdepots and can be predicted by traditional metabolic parameters even within the normal range.
Meir et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in moderate abdominal obesity (n=275). Intrahepatic fat (%IHF) was evaluated on Association of %IHF with visceral adipose tissue (VAT) area (p=<0.006). Intrahepatic fat was directly associated with visceral adipose tissue area (P<0.006) and inversely associated with superficial-subcutaneous adipose tissue proportion (P<0.006).
