Comparison of <scp>DXA</scp> , <scp>BIA</scp> , and anthropometry for assessing subcutaneous, visceral, liver, and pancreas fat measured by <scp>MRI</scp>
Indices of abdominal adiposity (as indicated by DXA-derived visceral, trunk, and android fat and waist circumference) appeared highly reflective of MRI-determined visceral fat. Considering cost and accessibility, waist circumference may serve as the most appropriate surrogate for assessing visceral fat.
