Paired liver fat measurements were available for a sub-cohort of 37 individuals who had CT and MRS at baseline and follow-up, respectively. * Presence of fatty liver determined by a CT value of <54.2 Hu at baseline and MRS > 1.8% at follow-up, as described by van Werven et al. [21]. Terminology: Stable Absence: Fatty liver absent at baseline and follow-up; Gain of fatty liver: Fatty liver absent at baseline but present at follow-up; Loss of fatty liver: Fatty liver present at baseline but absent at follow-up; Stable Presence: Fatty liver present at baseline and follow-up.
