Uptake of aortic 18F-FDG is correlated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and leptin in a general population.

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the relationship between aortic 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) uptake and clinical and laboratory findings related to atherosclerosis in a general population.
