Introduction Increased abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) implies an adverse cardio-
metabolic profile. We examined the association of abdominal VAT parameters and all-cause …

Background We investigated whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and density
are related to early atherosclerosis, plaque inflammation and major adverse cardiac events …

Background: Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) are
associated with adverse cardiometabolic risk profiles. Objectives: This study explored the …

Background Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) dramatically improved survival in
people living with HIV (PLWH) but is associated with weight gain (WG), raising concern for a …

Background High epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) attenuation (Hounsfield units [HUs]) on
computed tomography is considered a marker of inflammation and is associated with an …

Background The prognostic value of body composition in cancer patients has been widely
studied during the last decade. The main finding of these studies is that sarcopenia, or …

Background & Aims Body composition, particularly sarcopenia, is associated with mortality
in patients with decompensated cirrhosis undergoing transplant evaluation. Similar data are …

Context Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), now the most commonly performed
bariatric operation, is a highly effective treatment for obesity. While Roux-en-Y gastric …

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 …

Abstract Background/Objectives The aim of this post-hoc analysis was to evaluate if
epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) quantity and quality, as evaluated by computed tomography …
