Association of Atherogenic Index of Plasma with Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Markers in Lean 14-to-20-Year-Old Individuals: A Cross-Sectional Study

Cardiometabolic risk factors at a young age pose significant for developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Atherogenic dyslipidemia is highly associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome already age. It remains unclear whether cardiometabolic associate the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP = log (TAG/HDL-C) lean subjects low risk. As both AIP markers are continuous variables, we expected their association to be linear before manifestation dyslipidemia. We analyzed prevalence increased ≥ 0.11) 2012 14-to-20-year-old (55% females) trends across quartiles (Q) subgroup 1947 (56% < 0.11). The 0.11 reached 3.6% females 8.5% males. HDL-C, non-HDL-C, triglycerides, score showed stepwise worsening sexes. Measures insulin resistance were worse Q4 vs. Q1 groups, leukocyte counts higher Q3 Q1. Females presented C-reactive protein lower adiponectin, estradiol, testosterone levels. multivariate regression model selected QUICKI, erythrocyte as predictors males; non-HDL-C females. A question arises individuals on upper edge prone earlier shift group.
