UltRaSoUnd-guided evaLuAtion of metabolic health in a cohort of midlife women with HIV: The URSULA study retroperitoneal (rho = 0.393; p = 0.0001), subcutaneous (rho = 0.277; p = 0.005) and epicardial fat (rho = 0.312; p = 0.002) thickness. Conversely, epicardial fat thickness was not linked to cIMT. NCEP–ATP III criteria showed limited accuracy (AUC = 0.67) in identifying patients at risk for liver steatosis. Conclusions: In the URSULA cohort, hepatic steatosis—largely driven by MetS—was highly prevalent and associated with abnormal visceral fat depots. US may offer a cost-effective tool for fast metabolic surveillance.

Abstract
UltRaSoUnd-guided evaLuAtion of metabolic health in a cohort of midlife women with HIV: The URSULA study retroperitoneal (rho = 0.393; p = 0.0001), subcutaneous (rho = 0.277; p = 0.005) and epicardial fat (rho = 0.312; p = 0.002) thickness. Conversely, epicardial fat thickness was not linked to cIMT. NCEP–ATP III criteria showed limited accuracy (AUC = 0.67) in identifying patients at risk for liver steatosis. Conclusions: In the URSULA cohort, hepatic steatosis—largely driven by MetS—was highly prevalent and associated with abnormal visceral fat depots. US may offer a cost-effective tool for fast metabolic surveillance.File in questo prodotto:
