Résumé
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is independently associated with atherosclerosis in nondiabetic individuals. In type 2 diabetic patients, the link between fatty liver and atherosclerosis is less clear. Here, we assessed whether liver fat content evaluated using (1)H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) was independently associated with prevalent carotid plaque as a marker of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetic patients.
