Table 2.

Correlations of supraclavicular and gluteal PDFF with volumes of VAT and SAT as well as with liver PDFF (n=61), adjusted for age and sex and divided into age groups <30 years (n=31) and ≥30 years (n=30). PDFF: proton density fat fraction, SAT: subcutaneous adipose tissue, VAT: visceral adipose tissue.
