Brief description/objective

The study's aim was to determine to what extent total visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume (V ) measured from segmented VAT areas (A ) on all axial computed tomography (CT) sections (thickness of 5 mm) between the diaphragm and pelvic floor can be predicted by the A of commonly selected landmark sections in patients with overweight or obesity.
