The Correlation of Total Percent Fat With Alterations in Cholesterol and Triglycerides in Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the detailed relationship between total percent fat (TPF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related lipid biomarkers among adults and find a non-invasive indicator for screening and monitoring of the high CVD risk population.

Methods

Data of 13,160 adults were obtained from the National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018. TPF was assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and CVD-related lipid biomarkers included total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Multivariable linear regression models were used to examine associations between TPF with four kinds of lipid biomarkers, and smooth curve fittings and generalized additive mode
