Note -- Visceral adipose tissue is sometimes reported as a volume even when measured on only a single image. Odds ratios are for patients in the highest group of visceral fat relative to those patients in the lowest group.

^*Odds ratios not reported; visceral fat area not significantly different between patients with adenomas and controls.
