The association of food insecurity with hepatic steatosis in women with and without HIV
Food insecurity is prevalent in WWH and, unexpectedly, is associated with less steatosis, in contrast with findings observed in the general population. Additionally, while obesity remains a strong driver of steatosis, food insecurity attenuates the association of BMI with steatosis, particularly at higher BMIs. This study lays the groundwork for future efforts exploring potential mechanistic pathways.
