The link between the atherogenic index of plasma and the risk of hypertension: Analysis from NHANES 2017-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a newly identified metabolic marker for atherosclerosis. However, there are inconsistent conclusions regarding the relationship between AIP and hypertension.

Methods

The study subjects were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 2017 to 2020. Logistic regression analyses were employed to explore the correlation between AIP and hypertension. The value of AIP in predicting hypertension was assessed using ROC curves, and their nonlinear relationship was described using restricted cubic splines (RCS). Subgroup analyses, interactions, and sensitivity analyses were also conducted.

Results

The study included 7,067 participants who were sourced from the NHANES database. There
