SATI, subcutaneous adipose tissue index; SAV, subcutaneous abdominal fat volume; SFA, subcutaneous fat area; VATI, visceral adipose tissue index; VAV, visceral abdominal fat volume; VFA, visceral fat area; TAV, total abdominal fat volume; TFA, total fat area; VAV%, percentage of visceral fat volume; HRSMI, high-radiodensity skeletal muscle index; BMI, body mass index; LVSI, lympho-vascular invasion; x, outcome not included in article. *, significant in type II EC; **, (VAT % < 31.89% and VAT% ≥ 31.89%).
