- Lifestyle interventions during 18-month trials led to abdominal fat loss.
- Despite weight regain, abdominal fat depots partially preserved intervention gains at 5- and 10-year follow-up.
- Visceral fat loss from interventions was associated with a 28% lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
- Visceral fat reduction, rather than weight loss, is key for long-term cardiometabolic health.
