Lipid accumulation product (LAP) index and its relation to anthropometric, metabolic and liver function factors in obese patients with NAFLD: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess the association between lipid accumulation product (LAP) index, a novel index combining waist circumference (WC) and triglyceride levels, and anthropometric indices, metabolic factors and hepatic function markers in obese subjects with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Specialised and subspecialised outpatient clinics of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

Participants

Overall, 232 adult patients with obesity and ultrasound-proven NAFLD were included in the present study.

Outcome measures

Anthropometric measurements (body weight, height and waist and hip circumferences) were measured, and serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, ferritin and liver enzymes were assessed
