Comparison of fat accumulation in various fat depots between Iraqi immigrants and native Swedes, estimated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Boxplots of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-estimated a liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF), b visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume, c abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) volume and d VAT/abdominal SAT ratio. Shown are the boxplots of the estimated e intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) volume, f thigh SAT volume, g IMAT/thigh SAT ratio, and h) ratio between the concentration of intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) and water of the semitendinosus muscle of the left thighs
