BMI, body mass index; SCAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue.

a

Absolute mean difference between groups. All values expressed in mean ± SD unless stated.

b

Median ±IQR.

c

Some scans removed due to artefact making accurate VAT or SCAT measurement not possible—see text for details.
