DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2021.105088
Abstract: Fat accumulation in the liver cells can increase the risk of cardiac complications and cardiovascular disease mortality. Therefore, a way to quickly and accurately detect hepatic steatosis is critically important. However, current methods, e.g., liver… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-71302-5
Abstract: Abdominal and general adiposity are independently associated with mortality, but there is no consensus on how best to assess abdominal adiposity. We compared the ability of alternative waist indices to complement body mass index (BMI)… read more here.
