Figure 1.
(A) The left panel shows change in VAT from baseline to 12 months relative to the change in TAT from baseline to 12 months (ΔVAT/ΔTAT) versus the baseline visceral fat mass divided by the total fat mass (VAT/TAT). The line represents the best fit allometric relationship to the weight loss data with k = 1.3 ± 0.03 and R2 = 0.99. The right panel shows residuals of the best fit allometric model versus baseline VAT to TAT ratio. (B) The left panel shows change in VAT from baseline to 24 months relative to the change in TAT from baseline to 24 months (ΔVAT/ΔTAT) versus the baseline visceral fat mass divided by the total fat mass (VAT/TAT). The line represents the best fit allometric relationship to the weight loss data with k = 1.5 ± 0.06 and R2 = 0.98 The right panel shows residuals of the best fit allometric model versus baseline VAT to TAT ratio.
