Context: Cellular characteristics of fat quality have been associated with cardiometabolic risk and can be estimated by computed tomography (CT) attenuation.
Objective: The aim was to determine the association between CT attenuation (measured in Hounsfield units [HU]) and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This was a prospective community-based cohort study using data from the Framingham Heart Study (n = 3324, 48% women, mean age 51 years) and Cox proportional hazard models.
Association of fat density with subclinical atherosclerosis.
J Am Heart Assoc
August 2014
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Framingham Heart Study, Framingham, MA (N.J.A., A.P., K.J.R., C.J.D., C.S.F.) Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA (K.J.R., C.S.F.) NHLBI Division of Intramural Research and the Center for Population Studies, Framingham, MA (K.J.R., C.S.F.).
Background: Ectopic fat density is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors above and beyond fat volume. Volumetric measures of ectopic fat have been associated with CVD risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between fat density and subclinical atherosclerosis.
