Regional fat measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
1: Trunk, the area bordered by the chin, the iliac crests, and the lateral borders of the ribs; 2: Legs, from the hip joints to the feet; 3: Arms, from lateral borders of the ribs to the arms.

Kaplan–Meier curve for cumulative risk of event-free survival according to truncal fat distribution (A) and BMI (B).
The cumulative survival rate of MACE, ischemia-driven TVR, MI, and cardiac death were compared among the low (first quartile), mid (second and third quartiles) and high (fourth quartile) groups stratified by %FMtrunk/FMtotal and BMI. BMI, body mass index; FMtotal, total body fat mass; FMtrunk, fat mass in trunk; MACE, major adverse cardiac event; MI, myocardial infarction; TVR, target vessel revascularization.
