Relationship of EAT volume and attenuation with MetS and/or diabetes. In participants with: (1) neither MetS nor diabetes mellitus (DM), (2) DM (with or without MetS), and (3) MetS without DM, EAT volume (c) as shown in box plots was 73.2 [53.6–98.3] vs. 97.6 [75.4–124.6] vs. 112.9 [89.3–140.7] cm3, respectively (trend p < 0.001). EAT attenuation (d) was −73.4 ± 4.6 vs. −75.5 ± 5.1 vs. −76.7 ± 4.5 HU, respectively (trend p < 0.001). CT computed tomography; EAT, epicardial adipose tissue; HU, Hounsfield units; MetS, metabolic syndrome
