Why the study?
Does lipid accumulation product (LAP) predict incident diabetes better than other adiposity measures?
Does lipid accumulation product (LAP) predict incident diabetes better than other adiposity measures?
Lipid accumulation product is a strong predictor of incident diabetes, outperforming BMI in young individuals but performing similarly to waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios.
LAP may aid diabetes risk assessment in young adults beyond BMI; leaves open whether it outperforms other ratios in prospective validation.
LAP was a strong predictor of diabetes and in young individuals had better predictability than did BMI; it was, however, similar to WHpR and WHtR in prediction of incident diabetes.
