Fig. 2

The association between liver fat at baseline with body fat percentage (a) and the association between liver fat at baseline with visceral fat area (b). Liver fat at baseline was associated with body fat percentage (R2 = 0.44, P = 0.03). Liver fat at baseline had a stronger association with visceral fat area (R2 = 0. 62, P = 0.003). In a multiple regression analysis, visceral fat area was the significant predictor of baseline liver fat (R2 = 0.56, P = 0.002) and no effect of ethncity was found (P = 0.13). Excluding the outlier, did not change the significant association between body fat percentage and baseline liver fat content in Fig. 2a (R2 = 0.36, P = 0.018) and the significant association between visceral fat area and baseline liver fat content in Fig. 2b (R2 = 0.76, P = 0.001)
