Novel Body Shape Descriptors for Abdominal Adiposity Prediction Using Magnetic Resonance Images and Stereovision Body Images

The purpose of this study was to design novel shape descriptors based on three‐dimensional (3D) body images and to use these parameters to establish prediction models for abdominal adiposity.
