Background Nutritional rehabilitation during severe acute malnutrition (SAM) aims to quickly restore a healthy body weight, but rapid weight gain has been associated with later cardiovascular risk. We hypothesized that faster weight gain during SAM rehabilitation and post-hospitalization is associated with liver fat in adult survivors. Method Jamaican adult survivors of childhood SAM underwent abdominal CT scan to estimate liver fat as mean liver attenuation (MLA) and liver spleen ratio (L/S). Birth weight (BW) and anthropometry measured during, and post-hospitalization were abstracted from admission records. Results We studied 42 marasmus survivors (MRs) and 40 kwashiorkor survivors (KWs). MRs had a lower mean BW (SD) 2.5 (0.8) vs 3.0 (0.7) kg; p=0.01) and were more wasted (p |
