RESUMEN
AIMS: This study was conducted to assess the relationship between the lipid accumulation product index (LAP) and the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and beta-cell function (HOMA-B) in Korean adults with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was carried out using data from the 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) and included 4,922 adults aged 20 or older. RESULTS: There were several key findings. First, in overall population, after adjusting for related variables, HOMA-IR (p < .001) and HOMA-B (p < .001) level were positively associated with quartiles of LAP. Second, in non-T2DM group, HOMA-IR (p < .001) and HOMA-B level (p < .001) were positively associated with quartiles of LAP. Third, in T2DM group, HOMA-IR (p < .001) level was positively associated with the quartiles of LAP, but HOMA-B (p = .153) level was not significant. In addition, HOMA-B level was increased with an increasing metabolic syndrome component in non-T2DM (p < .001) but not in T2DM (p = .267). CONCLUSIONS: LAP was positively associated with both HOMA-IR and HOMA-B in non-diabetic Korean adults. However, LAP was positively associated with HOMA-IR in Korean adults with T2DM, while the association with HOMA-B was not significant.

The present study was conducted to assess the association between the lipid accumulation product index (LAP) and pulse pressure (PP) by gender in nondiabetic Korean adults. This study used the data of 8,240 nondiabetic adults (3,577 men and 4,663 women) aged ≥ 20 years from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014. Key findings from the study were as follows: first, the mean values of age for the overall population, men, and women were 49.59 ± 15.73 years, 49.26 ± 16.04 years, and 49.85 ± 15.47 years, respectively. Second, in women (n = 4,663), after adjustment for related variables and with quartile 1 of LAP as a reference, the odds ratios (ORs) of high PP (PP > 60 mmHg) were significantly higher in quartile 3 [1.735 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.064-2.831)] and quartile 4 of LAP [2.271 (95% CI, 1.325-3.893)]. Third, high PP in men (n = 3,577) was not associated with the quartiles of LAP. Forth, after adjustment for related variables, the PP level was positively associated with the quartiles of LAP in women (p < .001) but not in men (p = .400). PP was positively associated with LAP in nondiabetic Korean women but not in men.

Background: This study was conducted to assess the association of pulse pressure (PP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) by gender in Korean adults. Methods: This study used the data of 4960 adults at age ≥20 years, from the 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Results: In the overall population (n = 4960), after adjustment for related variables and with quartile 1 of VAI as a reference, the odds ratios of high PP (PP >60 mmHg) was significantly higher in quartile 3 [1.32 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.71)] and quartile 4 of VAI [1.40 (95% CI, 1.07-1.83)]. In women (n = 2784), the OR of high PP, with quartile 1 of VAI as a reference, was significantly higher in quartile 3 [2.36 (95% CI, 1.55-3.61)] and quartile 4 of VAI [2.70 (95% CI, 1.77-4.12)]. In men (n = 2176), high PP was not associated with the quartiles of VAI. In addition, after adjustment for related variables, the PP level was positively associated with the quartiles of VAI in the overall population (P < 0.001) and women (P < 0.001), but not in men (P = 0.316). Conclusions: VAI was positively associated with PP in Korean women, but not in Korean men.
