Evaluation of Visceral Adiposity Indexes Associated with Atherogenic Plasma Index in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes

Aim: This study was aimed to investigate visceral adiposity indicators and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Material Methods: A total 353 adults aged between 18 74 years were included this study. Bodyweight, height, waist, hip circumference measured; fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein high-density cholesterol) values analyzed. Visceral (VAI), accumulation product (LAP), body (BAI), shape (ABSI), roundness (BRI), conicity (CI), AIP levels calculated. Results: The 116 (32.9%) males 237 (67.1%) females, with a mean age 57.8±11.5 years. z-scores found be directly related T2DM (OR, 5.03; 95% CI: 1.95-13.01), while VAI less associated 1.10; 1.03-1.18). According ROC curve analysis, although area under (AUC) is weak distinguish diabetic patients VAI, LAP, AIP, it statistically significant (p<0.001, AUC: 0.619, cut-off= 5.1, 0.561-0.677; p=0.007, 0.583, 63.2, 0.523-0.642; p=0.001, 0.606, 0.4, 0.547-0.665, respectively). Conclusion: are strong predictors diabetes, better predictor predicting than LAP.
