Association between the atherogenic index of plasma and new-onset non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in non-obese participants.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the non-obese population accounts for a large proportion of NAFLD. Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP, defined as the logarithm of the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio.) can provide a stronger reflection of dyslipidemia and studies on the longitudinal association between AIP and NAFLD were limited in non-obese participants, especially in different BMI groups.

Methods

We performed a post-hoc analysis of data obtained from the Dryad data repository (Dryad is a nonprofit open database of medicine.) and explored the predictive value of AIP on the risk of NAFLD among non-obese participants.

Results

This study included 16173 participants with AIP, of which 2322(14.4%) non-obese part
