Key result
Increased perirenal fat thickness was independently associated with a higher risk of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 1.216).
Why the study?
Perirenal adipose tissue may regulate cardiovascular and metabolic systems, but its association with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus required evaluation.
Population
670 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Comparison
Higher vs lower perirenal fat thickness

Perirenal fat thickness is an independent and superior obesity-related imaging marker for identifying subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to visceral fat area.
Guo et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=670). Perirenal fat thickness vs. Lower perirenal fat thickness was evaluated on Subclinical carotid atherosclerosis (SCCA) (OR 1.216, 95% CI 1.119-1.322). Increased perirenal fat thickness was independently associated with a higher risk of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 1.216).
