Figure 1. Kaplan-Meier curves of incident cardiovascular disease events stratified by body fat phenotype in the Dallas Heart Study (panel A) and UK Biobank study (panel B).

Figure 1.

Incidence of CVD (y-axis) as a function of follow-up days (x-axis) in low VAT-low LF (black), high VAT-low LF (red), low VAT-high LF (green), and high VAT-high LF (blue) phenotypes in DHS (A) and UKB (B). High VAT/LF defined by median sex- and race-specific (black, non-black/Hispanic, non-Hispanic) values for VAT/LF in DHS and median sex-specific values for UKB. High VAT-low LF experienced the greatest rate of CVD events, while low VAT-high LF had rates of incident CVD similar to the referent group, low VAT-low LF.
