Body mass index and glucocorticoid dose contribute to subclinical atherosclerosis in Korean patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: A prospective 4 year follow‐up study

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease owing to an immunological abnormality, along with traditional risk factors. We found that carotid artery intima‐media thickness (cIMT) and plaque were associated with age, body mass index (BMI) and disease activity in a previous study 4 years ago. Our aim was to identify risk factors associated with progression of subclinical atherosclerosis in SLE.
