Association between the atherogenic index of plasma and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Korean pregnant women: secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent studies have shown an association between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the association in a population of pregnant women remains unclear.

Objectives

Our study aimed to examine the association between AIP and NAFLD in pregnant Korean women.

Methods

Our study used publicly available data from Korea, which recruited singleton pregnant women between November 2014 and September 2016 who were at 10-14 weeks of gestation. The presence of NAFLD was diagnosed by liver ultrasound. AIP was calculated as log10 (TG/HDL). Participants were grouped according to AIP tertile: T1 (< 0.16, n = 195), T2 (0.16-0.32, n = 195), and T3 (>0.32, n = 196). Logistic regression models were used to estima
