Abstract
We examined vhether the combination of waist (WC) and thigh (ThC) circumference improves the prediction of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) over WC and ThC independently in HIV-infected men and women after correction for age. We also examined the independent associations between VAT, and the combination of WC and ThC with metabolic risk facters, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus and prior cardiovascular events in HIV-infected individuals.
