Resistance training

Resistance training decreases intermuscular adipose tissue area in humans (type 2 diabetes) (-0.512 ± 0.115 cm2 (-9.89%) vs +0.587 ± 0.115 cm2 (+10.34%) in control).
“The IMAT area (measured by a computed tomography scan) in the resistance group decreased from 5.176 ± 1.249 cm2 to 4.660 ± 1.147 cm2”

Mortality
downin humans1HR 0.79
Intermuscular adipose tissue area predicts mortality in humans after curative-intent colon cancer surgery (HR 0.79 (95% CI 0.67-0.93)).
“Patients with larger differences (Δ) of IMAT area and IMATI at 12 months, HR 0.79 (95% CI 0.67-0.93) and 0.49 (95% CI 0.30-0.80), respectively, had a lower mortality.”
