Association between the atherogenic index of plasma and abdominal aortic calcification in adults: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) index is an important marker of insulin resistance and a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is significantly associated with subclinical atherosclerotic disease. However, there are no studies that have examined the relationship between AIP index and AAC, so we investigated the potential association between them in the general population.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2013-2014). The association of AIP with AAC was estimated by multivariable regression analysis.

Results

After adjusting for confounders, the odds of extensive AAC doubled per unit increase in the AIP index (OR = 2.00, 95
