The atherogenic index of plasma: A novel factor more closely related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease than other lipid parameters in adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The relationship of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is unclear. This study aims to detect the association between AIP and NAFLD, compare the discriminative power of AIP with other lipid parameters for NAFLD, and establish a discriminant model using physical examination data.

Methods

Participants aged over 20 years who underwent routine physical examination in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from April 2016 to August 2020 were included. We categorized subjects based on hepatic ultrasound results and analyzed the association between NAFLD risk and AIP, conventional plasma lipids, remnant cholesterol (RC), triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index, and other atherogenic indices (n = 112,200) using logistic reg
