BACKGROUND Visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which is linked with the metabolic consequences of obesity, is usually characterized by measuring VAT area at the L4-L5 vertebral interspace. However, the location of the slice with the strongest relation to VAT volume is not established. OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the relations between cross-sectional VAT areas at different anatomic locations...

White matter fiber tracts demonstrate heterogeneous vulnerabilities to aging effects. Here, we estimated age-related differences in tract properties using UK Biobank diffusion magnetic resonance imaging data of 7167 47- 76-year-old neurologically healthy people (3368 men and 3799 women). Tract terms generalized fractional anisotropy, axial diffusivity, radial mean diffusivity were sampled on 76...
