The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
i recommend an mri over a dexa scan because a dexa scan gives you a longitudinal view instead of a cross section so that cross section in this image that first one allows you to better visualize uh that visceral fat than the visualization that's able to be seen in a dexa scan
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
get that image go back to your doctor and say tell me i want to see my visceral fat and see what it was like at that time and consider getting repeated so you can see where you are today as a reflection and a measurement of of your lifestyle
mri images can show us the amount of visceral fat that's the amount of fat within your belly in the peritoneum much more accurately than a dexa or a ct scan
i would get a measure of visceral adipose tissue the cheapest easiest way is a dexa scan that's longitudinal and a better way is with an mri that's cross-sectional so they're both pretty accurate but you can monitor visceral fat i think that visceral fat monitoring is going to give people a much better indication and much more motivation to change their health
and they would know that if they checked their visceral adipose tissue with a dexa scan or a type of MRI that looks at the adipose tissue in the belly in the beneath the peritoneum
and mri allows that so it can very clearly distinguish between these compartments
An accurate measurement would include an MRI or CT scan.
