Figure 3.
Visceral (black bars) and subcutaneous (white bars) abdominal adipose tissue by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline and after 1 year of intervention. CR, caloric restriction; EX, exercise; HL, healthy lifestyle. Final values were adjusted for baseline differences between groups. Values of p represent the change within group from baseline (BL) to 1 year. For comparison between groups, the following contrasts were significant: CR versus HL for visceral adipose tissue (p = .05), CR versus HL for subcutaneous adipose tissue (p = .02), and EX versus HL for visceral adipose tissue (p = .01).
