ABSTRACT: Purpose
Novel anthropometric measures are simple, applicable, and inexpensive tools for cardiovascular risk assessment. This study evaluates the association of lipid accumulation product (LAP) with hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and all-cause mortality, and compares it with other anthropometric measures.Methods
PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Scopus were systematically searched for articles published until May 15, 2021. We included all the studies that had measured LAP predictability for T2DM, all-cause mortality, and hypertension with no limitation in comorbidities and follow-up duration. We assessed the predictability measures of LAP for the aforementioned outcomes. We also performed a meta-analysis on four articles on mortality using an inverse variance method by the "meta" package in R software.Results
Twenty-nine studies were included in the review after applying the eligibility criteria. The hazard ratio for all-cause mortality per one standard deviation increment of LAP was 1.24 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.00-1.53; P = 0.0463) in females, and 1.07 (95% CI: 0.74-1.57; P = 0.709) in males. All included studies found a direct association between LAP with T2DM and hypertension. However, studies used different cut-off points for LAP. Most studies found that LAP was superior in predicting T2DM and hypertension compared to conventional indices, e.g., body mass index and waist circumference. We found that LAP may have higher prognostic significance in females compared to males.Conclusion
LAP is an inexpensive method to evaluate the risk of all-cause mortality, T2DM, and hypertension, and could outperform conventional anthropometric indices in this regard.Supplementary information
