Study Summary

The proposed study aims to begin the multi-step process of establishing the reliability and validity of hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC) and carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) as biomarkers of cardiometablic risk in children treated for mental illness. The distribution of HTGC and carotid IMT-proximate indicators of cardiometabolic risk-across a range of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)-measured adiposity in children treated with antipsychotic agents will be characterized in comparison to healthy, untreated, non-psychiatric controls, in order to estimate effect sizes for future studies incorporating these markers. The ability of HTGC and IMT to predict cardiometabolic risk as measured by commonly-used laboratory tests, such as fasting lipids, liver function tests, C-reactive protein and serum fibrinogen, will be assessed.
