BackgroundCVD risk increases in women after menopause. Recent data suggest higher levels of complement protein C3 and cardiovascular fat (CF) in postmenopausal women. Whether complement proteins are associated with early markers of atherosclerosis in healthy midlife women has never been evaluated. Additionally, the potential impact of the local CF on these associations has never been assessed.MethodsParticipants (n = 100, age (mean(SD)):50.48(2.63), 50% premenopausal) were from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN). Arterial calcification (aortic-AC and coronary-CAC) and CF volumes around the heart and aorta (total heart-TAT and aortic perivascular adipose tissue-PVAT) were quantified using EBCT scans. AC and CAC we...
