The correlation between fat metrics and disease severity. A, B. Correlations were produced using Spearman analysis. Positive correlations are expressed in blue, while orange reflects negative correlations. The graduated color shows the degree of correlation. * indicates P < 0.05, ** indicates P < 0.01, *** indicates P < 0.001. C–G. Fat parameters changed as UC and CD progressed. UC, ulcerative colitis; CD, Crohn's disease; SCCAI, Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index; HBI, Harvey-Bradshaw Index; UCEIS, Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity; SES-CD, Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease; SATI, subcutaneous adipose tissue index; VATI, visceral adipose tissue index; PSAI, paraspinal intramuscular adipose tissue index; MATI, mesorectal adipose tissue index; MFI, mesenteric fat index
