Visceral adiposity index, lipid accumulation product and intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis in middle-aged and elderly Chinese.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the association of the newly established lipid accumulation product (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) in middle-aged and elderly Chinese. From June 2012 to January 2013, consecutive patients ≥40 years of age who underwent cerebral vascular imaging for various medical reasons were enrolled in this study. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the correlation of VAI and LAP with the risk of ICAS. In total, 845 patients were included in the study. The prevalence of ICAS gradually increased in females and in all patients with advancing tertiles of VAI or LAP. After adjusting for potential risks, both the VAI and LAP were related to ICAS in females [VAI: odds ratio (OR) = 3.25, 95% confidence interva
