All values are regression coefficients (adjusted differences); 95% CIs in parentheses. Values were determined with the use of a general linear model. The model was adjusted for sex, age on MRI day, and parity. P values were determined with the use of a multiple linear regression model. dSAT, abdominal deep subcutaneous tissue; IAT, abdominal internal adipose tissue; sSAT, abdominal superficial subcutaneous tissue.

Derived from the ratio of adipose tissue volume of each compartment and the total abdominal volume.
