Association of atherogenic index of plasma with urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in Chinese urban adults: a cross-sectional study

Key Points

• The aim is to explore the relationship between atherogenic index of plasma and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in Chinese urban adults.
• Conducted a cross-sectional study assessing AIP and UACR in urban Chinese adults.
• Performed subgroup analyses based on age and use of lipid-lowering medications.
• Elevated AIP independently associates with increased UACR in the studied population.
• Association is stronger in individuals younger than 60 years and not using lipid-lowering medications.
