Individuals with HIV+ infection have a higher rate of progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), although the mechanisms are not fully understood. Pancreatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF) measures were shown to not differ between individuals with HIV+ (n=16) and controls (n=16). However, when stratified to high versus low measures of insulin resistance (using HOMA-IR), individuals with HIV+ infection (but not controls), who had high HOMA-IR had higher pancreatic PDFF than those with low HOMA-IR, p=0.01. These results suggest pancreatic PDFF may be useful to monitor in HIV+ infection.
