The Pattern of Adipose Tissue Accumulation during Early Infancy Provides an Environment for the Development of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever - Fig 2

(a) Longitudinal changes in estimated visceral adipose tissue mass and estimated subcutaneous adipose tissue mass in 427 healthy infants over the first year of life. Equations used to estimate the visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue stores are described in the Methods section. Symbols and error bars are mean±SEM plotted at the mean ages of the study visits. (b) Longitudinal changes in visceral adipose tissue mass from figure 2a, and the ages of infants sustaining a primary dengue virus infection with their clinical disease severity classification. DHF/DSS = dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. Symbols and error bars are mean±SEM plotted at the mean ages of the study visits.
