The aim is to evaluate Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT) in abdomen and thigh (full and mid-thigh) using MRI and correlate them with diabetic risk factors such as insulin sensitivity and lipid profile. The study carried out in 25 male volunteers showed significant positive correlation between the following: SAT (abdomen and mid-thigh) and insulin resistance, SAT (abdomen and thigh) and cholesterol. Given that diabetes is a major public health issue worldwide and there is growing emphasis on prevention and identifying risk factors, MRI assessed SAT can have a predictive role in identifying risk group for diabetes.
