RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Using cross-sectional data from the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for American, the aim of this research is to investigate the potential association between Lipid Accumulation Products (LAP) and the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: Data from the NHANES (2017-2020) were downloaded and further analyzed. The participants between 20 and 80 years reported having OA, and other relevant variables and information on LAP were included. The linear and non-linear associations between LAP and OA were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression analysis and smoothed curve fitting methods. A two-part linear regression model was also used to estimate threshold effects. RESULTS: The increased risk of OA was shown to have a nonlinear relationship with higher LAP, showing a solid threshold impact with a saturation value of 120.00 cm × mmol/L, according to our data. The two variables showed a positive relationship to the left of the saturation point but no significant association to the right, pointing to a complicated nonlinear relationship between OA prevalence and LAP. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings revealed that LAP was an independent risk factor for OA when it was <120.00 cm × mmol/L. The LAP index may serve as a valuable method for predicting and diagnosed OA. To validate our results, further large-scale prospective research are required.

BACKGROUND: The dietary inflammatory index (DII) serves as a tool to assess the inflammatory impact of an individual's diet. This study aimed to investigate the association between DII and some cardio-metabolic risk indices among patients with T2DM. METHODS: Data from the Hoveyzeh Cohort Study, encompassing 2045 adults with T2DM, were analyzed. DII scores were calculated based on food frequency questionnaires. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical tests were performed to assess cardio-metabolic risk factors. RESULTS: Higher DII scores were positively associated with elevated triglyceride levels, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, lipid accumulation product (LAP), anthropometric indices including a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), body mass index (BMI), hip, waist circumferences (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (all Ptrend < 0.05). Notably, no significant association was observed between DII and fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels (Ptrend > 0.05). Additionally, dietary intake analysis revealed a negative correlation between DII scores and intake of fiber, fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, seafood, dairy products, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, and E (all Ptrend < 0.05). Conversely, higher DII scores were associated with increased consumption of red meat, processed meat, refined cereals, potatoes, and soft drinks (all Ptrend < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study underscores the critical link between dietary inflammation, assessed by the DII score, and a multitude of cardio-metabolic risk factors in patients with T2DM. Notably, while the study did not find a significant association between DII and fasting blood sugar levels, it identified robust associations with novel anthropometric and biochemical indices indicative of cardio-metabolic risk. These findings highlight the potential of dietary interventions as a cornerstone strategy for managing T2DM and mitigating its associated complications.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A single measurement lipid accumulation product (LAP) level has been shown to increase cardiovascular disease, but cumulative LAP on stroke effects is uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study included 43,089 participants, free of any cardiovascular diseases at baseline, from the Kailuan Study. The cumulative LAP was determined by multiplying the average LAP index and the time interval between two consecutive examinations, resulting in their categorization into four quartile groups. The higher LAP exposure was defined as participants with LAP values exceeding 90% of this population during each health survey. The association between cumulative LAP and stroke was assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazard models. During a median follow-up period of 11.0 (10.6-11.3) years, 2461 participants developed stroke (of which 2220 were ischemic stroke, 320 were hemorrhagic stroke, and 79 were concurrent). After adjusting for potential confounders, the risk of stroke gradually increased in Groups Q2 to Q4 compared to Q1, with hazard ratios (HRs) ranging from 1.19 (95% CI: 1.05-1.36) to 1.50 (95% CI: 1.30-1.70). Specifically, the risk of ischemic stroke showed an increase from 1.21 (1.06-1.39) to 1.56 (1.36-1.79), while no statistically significant effect was observed for hemorrhagic stroke. The longer duration of higher LAP index exposure was also associated with increased stroke risk. Similar results were obtained in the stratification and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION: Cumulative LAP was positively and significantly associated with incident stroke, especially ischemic stroke, and a longer duration of exposure to higher LAP may increase the risk of stroke.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: At present, there are few studies on the relationship between lipid accumulation product (LAP) and mortality. This study aims to explore the relationship between adult LAP and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study people from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Results of the mortality study were based on death data up to December 31, 2019. Cox proportional risk model was used to estimate the risk ratio (HR) and 95 % CI of all-cause and CVD mortality. A total of 50162 people were included in the study (the weighted average age and male proportion were 48.14 years and 48.64 % respectively). During the follow-up of 203460871 person-years, 6850 deaths were recorded, including 1757 CVD deaths. After multivariable adjustment, the increase of LAP was significantly correlated with all-cause and CVD mortality. Compared with the participants of Quartile 1 of LAP, the multivariable adjusted HRs and 95 % CI of the participants of Quartile 4 of LAP were 1.54 (1.32, 1.80) all-cause mortality (P for trend<0.001), and 1.55 (1.16, 2.09) CVD mortality (P for trend = 0.04). For every increase of natural log-transformed LAP, the all-cause mortality increased by 22 %, and the CVD mortality increased by 14 % (both P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our cohort study based on NHANES showed that higher LAP was significantly associated with higher all-cause and CVD mortality. Maintaining a low LAP status may reduce the risk of death.

BACKGROUND: Lipid accumulation product (LAP) is an accessible and relatively comprehensive assessment of obesity that represents both anatomical and physiological lipid accumulation. Obesity and psoriasis are potentially related, according to previous research. Investigating the relationship between adult psoriasis and the LAP index was the goal of this study. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2006 and 2009-2014. The association between LAP and psoriasis was examined using multivariate logistic regression and smoothed curve fitting. To verify whether this relationship was stable across populations, subgroup analyses and interaction tests were performed. RESULTS: The LAP index showed a positive correlation with psoriasis in 9,781 adult participants who were 20 years of age or older. A 27% elevated probability of psoriasis was linked to every unit increase in ln LAP in the fully adjusted model (Model 3: OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.06-1.52). In comparison with participants in the lowest ln LAP quartile, those in the highest quartile had an 83% greater likelihood of psoriasis (Model 3: OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.08-3.11). This positive correlation was more pronounced for young males, participants who had never smoked, non-drinkers, participants who exercised little, as well as non-hypertensive and non-diabetic participants. CONCLUSIONS: This study found that the LAP index and adult psoriasis were positively correlated, especially in young males without comorbidities. Therefore, it is proposed that LAP may serve as a biomarker for early diagnosis of psoriasis and tracking the effectiveness of treatment.

BACKGROUND: Lipid accumulation product (LAP) is a novel predictor index of central lipid accumulation associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to investigate the accuracy of LAP for the screening of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in general adult males and females and its comparison with other lipid-related indicators. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and ProQuest for eligible studies up to May 8, 2024. Outcomes were pooled mean difference (MD), odds ratio (OR), and diagnostic accuracy parameters (sensitivity, specificity, and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic [AUSROC] curve). Comparative analysis was conducted using Z-test. RESULTS: Forty-three studies involving 202,313 participants (98,164 males and 104,149 females) were included. Pooled MD analysis showed that LAP was 45.92 (P < 0.001) and 41.70 units (P < 0.001) higher in men and women with MetS, respectively. LAP was also significantly associated with MetS, with pooled ORs of 1.07 (P < 0.001) in men and 1.08 (P < 0.001) in women. In men, LAP could detect MetS with a pooled sensitivity of 85% (95% CI: 82%-87%), specificity of 81% (95% CI: 80%-83%), and AUSROC curve of 0.88 (95% CI: 0.85-0.90), while in women, LAP had a sensitivity of 83% (95% CI: 80%-86%), specificity of 80% (95% CI: 78%-82%), and AUSROC curve of 0.88 (95% CI: 0.85-0.91). LAP had a significantly higher AUSROC curve (P < 0.05) for detecting MetS compared to body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body roundness index (BRI), a body shape index (ABSI), body adiposity index (BAI), conicity index (CI) in both genders, and waist circumference (WC) and abdominal volume index (AVI) in females. CONCLUSION: LAP may serve as a simple, cost-effective, and more accurate screening tool for MetS in general adult male and female populations.

BACKGROUND: Obesity refers to a significant contributor to the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Early prediction of OSA usually leads to better treatment outcomes, and this study aims to employ novel metabolic markers, visceral adiposity index (VAI), and lipid accumulation product (LAP) to evaluate the relationship to OSA. METHODS: The data used in the current cross-sectional investigation are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which was carried out between 2015 and 2018. To examine the correlation between LAP and VAI levels and OSA, multivariate logistic regression analysis was adopted. In addition, various analytical methods were applied, including subgroup analysis, smooth curve fitting, and threshold effect analysis. RESULTS: Among totally 3932 participants, 1934 were included in the OSA group. The median (Q1-Q3) values of LAP and VAI for the participants were 40.25 (21.51-68.26) and 1.27 (0.75-2.21), respectively. Logistic regression studies indicated a positive correlation between LAP, VAI, and OSA risk after adjusting for potential confounding variables. Subgroup analysis revealed a stronger correlation between LAP, VAI levels, and OSA among individuals aged < 60 years. Through smooth curve fitting, specific saturation effects of LAP, VAI, and BMD were identified, with inflection points at 65.684 and 0.428, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that elevated levels of LAP and VAI increase the risk of OSA, suggesting their potential as predictive markers for OSA and advocating for dietary and exercise interventions to mitigate OSA risk in individuals with high LAP and VAI levels.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential correlation between lipid accumulation products (LAP) and depression in adults in the United States. METHODS: We analyzed data from 13,051 participants from the NHANES 2005-2018 cycle. The LAP index was calculated using the waist circumference (WC) and serum triglyceride (TG) levels, which reflect lipid toxicity. Participants who scored ≥10 on the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were considered depressed. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the association between the LAP index and depression. Furthermore, we conducted subgroup analysis to identify potentially sensitive populations. Smoothed curve fitting and generalized additive model (GAM) regression were performed to verify the association between the LAP index and depression. RESULTS: A total of 13,051 participants were eligible for analysis. After adjusting for all potential confounders, the risk of depression tended to increase with an increasing LAP index (odds ratio [OR]: 1.0011, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0001, 1.0021). Compared to participants with LAP quartile 1, participants with LAP quartile 3 exhibited the highest risk of depression (OR: 1.43, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.99). Subgroup analysis demonstrated a strong association between the LAP index and depression in men (OR: 1.002, 95%CI: 1.001, 1.004) or those with hypertension (OR: 1.002, 95%CI: 1.000, 1.003). Additionally, smoothed curve fitting and GAM regression demonstrated a positive linear correlation between the LAP index and depression. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that individuals with a higher LAP index may be at higher risk of depression, particularly men or those with hypertension. However, further studies are required to confirm these findings.
RESUMO
The present study examined the association between low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) score, glycemic index (GI), and glycemic load (GL) with visceral fat level (VFL) and lipid accumulation product (LAP). This cross-sectional study was conducted on 270 adults (118 men and 152 women) aged between 18-45 living in Tehran, Iran, between February 2017 and December 2018. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Body composition were also assessed. We used analyses of covariance and binary logistic regression to explore associations after controlling for age, energy intake (model 1), education, smoking status, physical activity, occupation, marriage and metabolic diseases. There were no significant differences between tertiles of GI, GL and LCD for means of anthropometric measures, LAP and VFL index in men, while women in the highest tertile of GI and GL had significantly higher mean LAP in the crude model (P = 0·02) and model 1(P = 0·04), which disappeared after controlling for other confounders (P = 0·12). Moreover, the OR and CIs for having high LAP and VFL was not associated with dietary GI, GL and LCD in crude and adjusted models. However, chance of high VFL reduced by 65% and 57% among women with high adherence to LCD score (OR = 0·35, 95% CI = 0·16-0·78, P = 0·01) and model 1 (OR = 0·43, 95% CI = 0·18-1, P = 0·05), respectively. However, this significant association disappeared after controlling for other confounders (P = 0·07). Overall, we found carbohydrate quality and LCD score are not associated with LAP and VFL index. However, gender-specific relationship should not be neglect and warrants further investigation.

Objective. Chronic kidney disease (CKD), metabolic syndrome (MetS) and insulin resistance (IR) are the major health problems associated with the increasing risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. Methods. This cross-sectional study included 209 CKD patients of stage (3-5) on conservative treatment to assess the usage of lipid accumulation product (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) to predict both MetS and IR in CKD patients. Results. In males, from the anthropometric measurements, LAP was the best predictor of MetS with 94.4% sensitivity and 77.8% specificity. VAI was the next one with 83.3% sensitivity and 69.4% specificity. The same results were obtained in females. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed LAP as the best predictor of MetS with the highest 92.6% sensitivity and 60.6% specificity followed by VAI with 83.6% sensitivity and 83.6% specificity. In addition, LAP was a good predictor of IR with more than 70% sensitivity in both males and females. VAI as a predictor of IR showed 62.2% sensitivity in males and 69.9% in females. Conclusion. The present data indicate that both LAP and VAI can serve as predictors of MetS and IR in CKD patients, whereas LAP is the best anthropometric measure to predict MetS and LAP is more sensitive and specific than VAI in IR predicting in both males and females.

BACKGROUND: Data are limited on the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the combinational indices of lipid accumulation product (LAP), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), and visceral adiposity index (VAI). The association of these novel indices with the 5- and 10-year incidence of CVD was assessed. METHOD: A total of 1888 and 1450 healthy adults aged between 15 and 75 years (out of the 5895 participants of the KERCADR study, 2012) were followed for five and ten years, respectively. Baseline LAP, TyG, and VAI were calculated and logistic regression models were used to assess their relationship with the incidence of CVD in the two follow-up periods. Also, the predictive performance of these three indices was analyzed using the area under ROC curve (AUC) for the development of CVD compared with traditional single indices. RESULTS: In the 5- and 10-year follow-ups, 399 and 476 CVD cases (21.1% and 32.8%) were documented, respectively. For the 5-year CVD risk, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR, 95% CI) was LAP (2.24 [1.44, 3.50]), VAI (1.58 [1.08, 2.33]), and TyG (1.57 [1.02, 2.42]). For the 10-year CVD risk, the AOR was LAP (1.61 [1.04, 2.49]), TyG (1.57 [1.02, 2.41]), and VAI (1.41 [0.96, 2.09]). In both periods and sexes, LAP had the best performance with the highest AUCs (0.644 and 0.651) compared to the other two indices and compared to the traditional single indices (e.g., BMI, LDL, etc.). CONCLUSION: Overall LAP, TyG, and VAI were better CVD risk predictors compared to the traditional single risk factors, with LAP showing the strongest predictive power for the incidence of CVD.

BACKGROUND: Visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP) are comprehensive indicators to evaluate visceral fat and determine the metabolic health of individuals. Carotenoids are a group of naturally occurring antioxidants associated with several diseases. The purpose of this investigation was to explore the association between serum carotenoid concentration and VAI or LAP. METHODS: The data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2001 and 2006. The levels of serum carotenoids were evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography. Multivariate linear regression models were employed to investigate the relationship between levels of serum carotenoids and VAI or LAP. The potential non-linear relationship was determined using threshold effect analysis and fitted smoothing curves. Stratification analysis was performed to investigate the potential modifying factors. RESULTS: In total, 5,084 participants were included in this population-based investigation. In the multivariate linear regressions, compared to the lowest quartiles of serum carotenoids, the highest quartiles were significantly associated with VAI, and the effect size (ß) and 95% CI was - 0.98 (- 1.34, - 0.62) for α-carotene, - 1.39 (- 1.77, - 1.00) for ß-carotene, - 0.79 (- 1.18, - 0.41) for ß-cryptoxanthin, - 0.68 (- 0.96, - 0.39) for lutein/zeaxanthin, and - 0.88 (- 1.50, - 0.27) for trans-lycopene. Using piece-wise linear regression models, non-linear relationships were found between ß-carotene and trans-lycopene and VAI with an inflection point of 2.44 (log2-transformed, ug/dL) and 3.80 (log2-transformed, ug/dL), respectively. The results indicated that α-carotene, ß-cryptoxanthin, and lutein/zeaxanthin were linearly associated with VAI. An inverse association was also found between serum carotenoids and LAP after complete adjustments. CONCLUSION: This study revealed that several serum carotenoids were associated with VAI or LAP among the general American population. Further large prospective investigations are warranted to support this finding.

BACKGROUND: Lipid accumulation product (LAP) is an index calculated by waist circumference (WC) and triglyceride (TG), which reflects lipid toxicity. This study aims to investigate the association between the LAP index and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science online databases were searched for eligible studies that investigated the association of the LAP index and NAFLD. Sixteen observational studies with 96,101 participants, including four cohort studies, one caseâcontrol study and 11 cross-sectional studies with baseline data, were entered into this analysis. Fourteen studies reported a significant association between the LAP index and NAFLD, and two reported that this relation was not significant; two different meta-analyses (1- mean difference (MD) and 2- bivariate diagnostic test accuracy [DTA]) were conducted using Stata version 14. The LAP index was compared in subjects with and without NAFLD, and the difference was significant with 34.90 units (CI 95: 30.59-39.31, P < 0.001) of the LAP index. The DTA meta-analysis was conducted and showed that the LAP index pooled sensitivity and specificity for screening of NAFLD were 94% (CI95: 72%-99%, I2 = 99%, P < 0.001) and 85% (CI95: 62%-96%, I2 = 99%, P < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION: The LAP Index is an inexpensive, sensitive, and specific method to evaluate NAFLD and may be valuable for NAFLD screening.

BACKGROUND: One of the most prevalent sleep disorders affecting the individual's daily life is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), for which obesity is a major risk factor. Several novel lipid indices have been suggested to have associations with OSA, among which visceral adiposity index (VAI), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), and lipid accumulation product (LAP) are the most important ones. Herein, the current study aimed to systematically investigate the association between these indices and OSA. METHODS: Four international databases, including PubMed, Scopus, the Web of Science, and Embase were searched in order to find relevant studies that investigated LAP, VAI, or AIP in OSA and compared them with non-OSA cases or within different severities of OSA. Random-effect meta-analysis was used to generate the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference in lipid indices between OSA and non-OSA cases. Moreover, the pooled area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) observed in individual studies for diagnosis of OSA based on these lipid indices were calculated by random-effect meta-analysis. RESULTS: Totally 14 original studies were included, comprised of 14,943 cases. AIP, LAP, and VAI were assessed in eight, five, and five studies, respectively. Overall, these lipid indices had acceptable diagnostic ability (AUC 0.70, 95% CI 0.67 to 073). Meta-analysis revealed that AIP was significantly higher in patients with OSA (SMD 0.71, 95% CI 0.45 to 0.97, P < 0.01). Moreover, AIP also increased in higher severities of OSA. Regarding LAP, a higher LAP was observed in OSA/patients with high risk for OSA rather than in controls/low risk for OSA (SMD 0.53, 95% CI 0.25 to 0.81, P < 0.01). VAI was also increased in OSA based on results from two studies. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that composite lipid indices are increased in OSA. Also, these indices can have the potential beneficiary diagnostic and prognostic ability in OSA. Future studies can confirm these findings and enlighten the role of lipid indices in OSA.

Subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS) are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Altered gut microbiota is involved in the pathogenesis of MetS. It has been hypothesized that garlic can improve intestinal transit time and cardiovascular risks. We investigated the effect of garlic powder supplementation on intestinal transit time, lipid accumulation product (LAP), and cardiometabolic indices in subjects with MetS. A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted for 3 months among subjects with MetS. Ninety subjects were randomly assigned to the treatment group (intake of 1,600 mg/d garlic powder) or control group (placebo) using a computer-generated random number table. All participants were asked to follow the common healthy dietary recommendations during follow-up. The primary outcomes included intestinal transit time, LAP, cardiometabolic index (CMI), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), Castelli risk index I (CRI-I) and Castelli risk index II (CRI-II). Garlic powder compared to the placebo improved intestinal transit time (p = .001), LAP (-21.5 ± 23.4 vs. 0.7 ± 21.5; p < .001), CMI (-0.85 ± 0.8 vs. 0.13 ± 0.8; p < .001), AIP (-0.14 ± 0.1 vs. 0.01 ± 0.1; p < .001), CRI-I (-0.69 ± 0.5 vs. 0.16 ± 0.5; p < .001) and CRI-II (-0.50 ± 0.3 vs. 0.02 ± 0.3; p < .001). Garlic supplementation can improve intestinal transit time, LAP, and cardiometabolic indices.

Background: Simple and accurate clinical indicators to detect metabolic abnormalities might be helpful for early management and lowering the risk of future consequences like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Aim: The visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) have been proposed as reliable, straightforward clinical markers and indications of metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study aimed to see how well these obesity and lipid-related indicators will predict MetS in adult Sudanese patients. Subjects and Methods: This community hospital-based case-control study included 420 middle-aged people (154 men and 266 women). Anthropometric measurements, weight (kilogram), height (meters), and waist circumference (WC) were evaluated, and the body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. Fasting blood samples were collected for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipid profile assessment. VAI, LAP, and AIP were calculated. Results: Significantly higher means of BMI, WC, WHtR, HbA1c, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, LAP, VAI, AIP, and significantly decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were seen among MetS when compared with non-MetS group. LAP had a significant proportion with BMI, WC, WHtR, TG, TG/HDL-C, VAI, and AIP, and it is inversely related to HDL-C in the MetS group. On ROC analysis, LAP had the largest operating characteristic curves (AUC) for both gender 0.970 (0.948-0.993) for men and 0.964 (0.945-0.982) for women, followed by WC, and VAI, while BMI showed the lowest AUCs for men and women. In multiple regression analyses, AIP values increased significantly with LDL-C, DBP, HbA1c, LAP, and VAI. Conclusion: The LAP was considerably higher in middle-aged people with MetS in both gender and was considered the best diagnostic performance.

BACKGROUND: Waist circumference (WC), visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) are considered surrogate indicators of abdominal fat deposition, but the longitudinal association of these indices with cardiovascular (CV) events in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear. Our study aimed to examine the associations between abdominal obesity indices and incident CV events among people with T2D and to compare their predictive performance in risk assessment. METHODS: The present study included 2328 individuals with T2D from the Xinjiang Multi-Ethnic Cohort. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were applied to assess the associations between abdominal obesity indices and CV events. Harrell's concordance statistic (C-statistic), net reclassification improvement (NRI) index, and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) index were utilized to evaluate the predictive performance of each abdominal obesity index. RESULTS: At a median follow-up period of 59 months, 289 participants experienced CV events. After multivariable adjustment, each 1-SD increase in WC, VAI, LAP, and CVAI was associated with a higher risk of CV events in people with T2D, with adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) being 1.57 [95% CI (confidence interval): 1.39-1.78], 1.11 (95% CI 1.06-1.16), 1.46 (95% CI 1.36-1.57), and 1.78 (95% CI 1.57-2.01), respectively. In subgroup analyses, these positive associations appeared to be stronger among participants with body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m2 compared to overweight/obese participants. As for the predictive performance, CVAI had the largest C-statistic (0.700, 95% CI 0.672-0.728) compared to VAI, LAP, WC, and BMI (C-statistic: 0.535 to 0.670, all P for comparison < 0.05). When the abdominal obesity index was added to the basic risk model, the CVAI index also showed the greatest incremental risk stratification (C-statistic: 0.751 vs. 0.701, P < 0.001; IDI: 4.3%, P < 0.001; NRI: 26.6%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study provided additional evidence that all abdominal obesity indices were associated with the risk of CV events and highlighted that CVAI might be a valuable abdominal obesity indicator for identifying the high risk of CV events in Chinese populations with T2D. These results suggest that proactive assessment of abdominal obesity could be helpful for the effective clinical management of the diabetic population.

BACKGROUND: Data are limited on whether several easily measured indices are independent predictors of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in hypertensive patients. This study aimed to assess the association of hypertriglyceridemic-waist phenotype, triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, lipid accumulation product (LAP), and visceral adiposity index (VAI) with T2DM risk in hypertensive patients. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 5321 hypertensive patients from the baseline survey of the Guangzhou Heart Study. Face-to-face questionnaire survey, physical examination, and fasting blood sample collection were completed for all subjects. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated by using the logistic regression model. The potential nonlinear relationship was examined using restricted cubic spline regression. RESULTS: The prevalence of T2DM was 19.98% among hypertensive patients. After adjusting for confounders, participants with elevated triglyceride levels and enlarged waist circumference (HTGW) were associated with a 2.57-fold risk of T2DM (OR 2.57, 95% CI 2.05, 3.23). When comparing with subjects within the lowest quartile of the indices, those in the highest quartile of TyG, LAP, and VAI were associated with 5.35-fold (95% CI 4.33, 6.64), 2.65-fold (95% CI 2.11, 3.34), and 2.17-fold (95% CI 1.77, 2.67) risk of T2DM after adjusting for confounders. Every 1-unit increment of TyG, LAP, and VAI was associated with 81%, 38%, and 31% increased risk of T2DM, respectively. The nonlinear association was observed for TyG, LAP, and VAI (all P Non-linear < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The results found that among hypertensive patients, HTGW and a higher level of TyG, LAP, and VAI were associated with an elevated risk of T2DM. The findings suggested that HTGW, TyG, LAP, and VAI may serve as simple and effective tools for T2DM risk assessment in the prevention and management of main chronic diseases.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcohol-related liver disease frequently coexist. While several blood-based indices exist for the detection of NAFLD, few studies have examined how alcohol use possibly impacts their diagnostic performance. We analysed the effects of alcohol use on the performance of indices for detecting fatty liver disease (FLD). METHODS: We included participants from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (Finnish sample) and KORA study (German sample) who underwent abdominal ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging, respectively, for detection of FLD and had serum analyses available for calculation of Fatty Liver Index (FLI), Hepatic Steatosis Index (HSI), Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP), and Dallas Steatosis Index (DSI). Alcohol use was estimated by questionnaires as mean daily consumption and binge drinking (Finnish sample only). Predictive performance for FLD was assessed according to alcohol consumption. RESULTS: The study included 1426 (Finnish sample) and 385 (German sample) individuals, of which 234 (16%) and 168 (44%) had FLD by imaging. When alcohol consumption was <50 g/day, all indices discriminated FLD with area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) of 0.82-0.88. AUROCs were 0.61-0.66 among heavy drinkers (>50 g/day). AUROCs decreased to 0.74-0.80 in the highest binge-drinking category (>2 times/week). Alcohol use correlated with FLI and LAP (r-range 0.09-0.16, p-range <.001-.02) in both samples and with DSI (r = 0.13, p < .001) in the Finnish sample. CONCLUSIONS: Indices perform well and comparably for detection of FLD with alcohol consumption <50 g/day and with different binge-drinking behaviour.

PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the performance of Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), triglyceride glucose (TyG) as indices in screening abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT) in Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), using the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) as a reference test. In addition, we essentially compared the abilities of these indices with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), fasting plasma glucose (FPG). MATERIALS AND METHODS: All 1113 PCOS patients evaluated in this study underwent OGTTs. The 2-h post-oral glucose load (2 h-PG) level was used to categorize subjects into two groups: those having AGT or normal glucose tolerance (NGT) levels. RESULTS: A statistically significant positive correlation between levels of 2 h-PG and FPG, BMI, WC, LAP, VAI, CVAI, TyG, (P < 0.05), was observed. The strongest correlation was found between the levels of 2 h-PG and CVAI (r = 0.47). The CVAI provided the highest area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) for AGT, followed by LAP, BMI, TyG, VAI, WC, and FPG. The CVAI of 32.61 (with AUC: 0.76, sensitivity: 73%, specificity: 70%, positive preductive value (PPV): 0.41, negative predictive value (NPV): 0.90) was found to be the cut-off point for AGT in Chinese women with PCOS. CONCLUSIONS: CVAI may not reliably detect AGT in Chinese women with PCOS. However, it is suitable as a first screening indicator to guide physicians to ordering OGTT.
