Visceral fat, cardiovascular risk factors and quality of life in lupus activity categorised via complement C3 by J Alfredo Martinez, Victor Moreno-Torres, María Martínez-Urbistondo, Raquel Castejón, Susana Mellor-Pita, Andrea Higuera-Gómez, Begoña de Cuevillas, Amanda Cuevas-Sierra, Juan-Antonio Vargas

“…Notably, age, body mass index and insulin resistance were associated with SLE inactivity, while fibrinogen correlated with disease activity as assessed by complement C3 levels. Interestingly, household composition as a sociodemographic variable (alone, couple/children/elderly or other) also showed an independent association with SLE activity.Conclusions Inactive patients with SLE exhibited more adverse cardiovascular risk markers compared with active patients categorised by complement C3, even when glucocorticoid administration was accounted for. …”
