Visceral adiposity in persons with chronic spinal cord injury determined by dual energy X‐Ray absorptiometry

Objective To determine visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume (VATvol) by dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) in spinal cord injured (SCI) and able‐bodied (AB) participants and to explore the relationships between VATvol and routine anthropometric measures. Methods Sixty‐three subjects with SCI and...
