Glesby M, et al. - Researchers aimed at investigating the associations between abdominal fat depot mass and subclinical atherosclerosis, especially in women with HIV. They performed a cross-sectional study of women, the majority of whom had HIV, and identified that greater visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass was associated with increased carotid artery stiffness. On the other hand, greater subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) mass was observed to be associated with a reduced odds of prevalent carotid artery lesions.
