Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, hyperlipidemia and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), are globally prevalent. However, traditional measures, such as body mass index (BMI), fail to capture body composition heterogeneity to accurately predict metabolic diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a precise quantification of body...
