Plots of DXA VAT mass at L4–L5 vs MRI VAT mass from L1–L5 used to derive scaling factors for the estimation of total VAT mass by DXA. Plots of VAT mass estimated by DXA (kg) at intervertebral L4–L5 vs MRI-estimated VAT mass (kg) at the beginning of L1 and end of L5 vertebrae in a subgroup of non-diabetic females and males.
