Visceral Abdominal and Subfascial Femoral Adipose Tissue Have Opposite Associations with Liver Fat in Overweight and Obese Premenopausal Caucasian Women

Table 3

Independent contributions (standardized beta coefficients) of anthropometric and body composition variables to liver-to-spleen ratio, adjusted for age and BMI.

	Liver-to-spleen ratio	Percentage of variance explained** (%)
WC, cm	−0.229	7.7^#
HC, cm	0.125	7.0^#
WHR	−0.145	7.9^#
SD, cm	−0.383*	10.1^#
TFM, kg	−0.221	7.4^#
TBFM, kg	−0.111	6.5^#
TBLM, kg	−0.077	6.7^#

All variables were entered in the regression models as continuous variables. Age did not present any independent association with the anthropometric studied variables.
** Variance explained by age, BMI, and the studied variable.
^# Independent associations of BMI, P < 0.01.
* P < 0.05.
^†P < 0.01.
^‡P < 0.001.
