In order to evaluate relations between age, liver fat, and ATP in the liver in 51 healthy subjects over 40 years old, liver fat by 1H MRS and 31P MRS of liver using 3D ISIS were obtained on a 3T scanner. As a result, the mean values of γ-ATP/Pi ratios and the liver fat content were 1.250.29 and 4.56%. ATP/Pi correlated with liver fat (r=0.29, p<0.05), and
