Abdominal fat as a predictor for fibrosis I don't think this was posted here, I can't find in THTX's website, maybe they picked and chose most relevant science papers and not all to make it more effortless for readers to get the picture rather than too many papers to go through.
This was done by Dr. Grinspoon and his team which highlights the positive relation with fat buildup round the organ and severity of fibrosis.
