Lipid Accumulation Product as a Predictor of Prediabetes and Diabetes: Insights From NHANES Data (1999-2018).

ABSTRACT: Background: The study investigates the association between lipid accumulation product (LAP) and the risk of prediabetes and diabetes. LAP, a measure indicating lipid overaccumulation, is hypothesized to be a significant predictor for these conditions. This research utilizes data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2018. Methods: The study followed a structured methodology, starting with data extraction from the NHANES database. Participants' eligibility was determined based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in a final sample size of 24,121 individuals. LAP was calculated using established formulas for men and women. The diagnosis of prediabetes and diabetes was based on standard medical criteria,
