Response to Comment on Parente et al. The Relationship Between Body Fat Distribution and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2021;44:1706 –1713

We would like to thank Dr. de Vries and colleagues (1) for the interest and comments on our article in which we showed that the visceral adipose tissue, but not the peripheral or total fat tissue, is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) when assessed by MRI in adults with type 1 diabetes (2). Furthermore, we showed that waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has a stronger association with NAFL than BMI in this population.
