Fig. 2

Correlations between MRI-derived adiposity and conventional anthropometric measures of adiposity. A black box denotes the correlation coefficient reported in each study with its size proportional to (n -3), where n is the sample size of the study. A diamond denotes the meta-analysed overall correlation coefficient with the solid line indicating zero correlation. Heterogeneity is assessed with a Q-test

Abbreviations: MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; r = correlation coefficient; BMI = body mass index; WC = waist circumference; WHR = waist to hip ratio; ATAT = abdominal total adipose tissue; VAT = visceral adipose tissue; ASAT = abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue; N/A = not available
