Testosterone is associated with abdominal body composition derived from computed tomography: a large cross sectional study

Scientific Reports, 2022
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between serum testosterone and abdominal body composition based on abdominopelvic computed tomography (APCT) measurements after adjusting for individual metabolic syndrome components.

Prognostic Value of Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index on Computed Tomography for Hospitalization for Heart Failure. [PDF]

JACC Adv
Pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) assessed on computed tomography is associated with the inflammation of the pericoronary artery.This study aimed to investigate whether pericoronary FAI predicts hospitalization for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).This retrospective single-center study included 1,196 consecutive patients ...

Epicardial Adipose Tissue Attenuation and Fat Attenuation Index: Phantom Study and In Vivo Measurements With Photon-Counting Detector CT [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2022
BACKGROUND. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) attenuation is a vascular inflammation marker predictive of adverse cardiac events. The fat attenuation index (FAI) assesses fat attenuation for predefined coronary segments. Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT uses routine virtual monoenergetic image (VMI) reconstructions.

The correlation of pericoronary adipose tissue with coronary artery disease and left ventricular function

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Key points A significant correlation exists between the fat attenuation index (FAI) and left ventricular function parameters. Our results suggest that cardiac mortality caused by an increased FAI may be due to changes in the left ventricular function ...

Correlates of calcaneal quantitative ultrasound parameters in patients with diabetes: the study on the assessment of determinants of muscle and bone strength abnormalities in diabetes [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) provides an estimate of bone mineral density (BMD) and also evaluates bone quality, which has been related to increased fracture risk in people with diabetes.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease connections with fat-free tissues: A focus on bone and skeletal muscle [PDF]

, 2017
The estimates of global incidence and prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are worrisome, due to the parallel burden of obesity and its metabolic complications. Indeed, excess adiposity and insulin resistance represent two of the major
