(35%) 85 of 245 PLWH with avg age of 52 have hepatic steatosis (HS: CAP >275). Several key points -
 
even in those with CAP <275 avg CAP was 224 (vs 315 for those with >275) thus they had high CAP, certainly not normal. Both PLWH with & without HS had significant prevalence of comorbidities (Table 1), but those with HS had higher rates of every comorbidity ! Associated with Health Related Quality of Life were HS, BMI, higher education, arterial hypertension, waist circumference, unemployment, age, gender (female). In Figure 3 yu can see the impact on mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain-discomfort and anxiety/depression for both those with & without CAP >275.Althouh those with HS scored worse many PLWH at age 52 did not perform well, they performed less well on mobility, self-care, pain/discomfort, anxiety-depression.
