Gender-specific association between a novel atherogenic index of plasma, metabolic parameters and inflammation among obese adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have demonstrated the association between lipoprotein combined index (LCI), as a novel atherogenic index with cardiovascular disease, fatty liver, diabetes and numerous other health problems; however, its association with metabolic syndrome risk and its components has not been investigated before. The current study was aimed to investigate the association between LCI metabolic and inflammatory risk factors among obese men and women.

Methods

In the current cross-sectional study, the association between LCI, anthropometric parameters and metabolic risk factors including serum lipids, glycemic markers, insulin resistance and C - reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were measured. LCI was calculated as (total cholesterol [TC] × triglyceride [TG] × lo
