The Relationship between Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Obesity among Adults in Taiwan
Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a novel biomarker, is associated with cardiovascular diseases and obesity. The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between AIP and obesity among Taiwanese hospital employees. A total of 1312 subjects with an average age of 42.39 years were en...

description | Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a novel biomarker, is associated with cardiovascular diseases and obesity. The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between AIP and obesity among Taiwanese hospital employees. A total of 1312 subjects with an average age of 42.39 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. AIP was calculated as log10 (TG/HDL-C). All subjects were divided into three groups according to AIP tertiles. Chi-square test, independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the demographic and clinical lab characteristics of the three groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between AIP and obesity. The results showed that subjects with obesity or with high AIP levels exhibited significant differences in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, alanine aminotransferase, fasting plasma glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and metabolic syndrome. In addition, age and total cholesterol were increased in the high AIP group. Increased AIP levels were strongly associated with obesity. |
