Abstract
VAT determination by CT and MRI identifies HIV patients who may benefit from interventions to reduce VAT, although these are not screening tools. Surrogate markers are therefore required and waist circumference (WC), which correlates with VAT, is commonly used, although its predictive accuracy in HIV is unknown. We evaluated the ability of WC, alone or with DXA-derived trunk fat, to predict VAT.
