Risk stratification using magnetic resonance imaging-derived, personalized z-scores of visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, and liver fat in persons with obesity.

Background: Individual patterns of fat accumulation (visceral, subcutaneous, and/or liver fat) can determine cardiometabolic risk profile.

Objective: To investigate risk stratification using personalized fat z-scores in persons with a body mass index (BMI) of 30-40 kg/m from the UK Biobank imaging study.

Setting: Population-based study.
