Figure 2

Print-out of Dual-x-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan, showing regions of interest (ROI). (A) ROI extending from L1 to L6 vertebrae. Fat mass from this ROI was called FM_L1_L6. (B) ROI extending from L1 to S3 vertebrae. Fat mass from this ROI was called FM_L1_S3 (C) ROI extending from L2 to L5 vertebrae. Fat mass from this ROI was called FM_L2_L5 (D) ROI extending from L3 to S3 vertebrae. Fat mass from this ROI was called FM_L3_S3.
