Key result
Higher AIP positively correlates with cardiovascular risk factors in patients with T2D.
Why the study?
There is a paucity of data on the Atherogenic Index of Plasma and its cardiovascular risk factor correlates among patients with type 2 diabetes in Uganda.
Population
500 patients aged 40 to 79 years with T2D in Central-Uganda
Design
Cross-sectional study across 8 health facilities

May support AIP for risk stratification in T2D; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Atherogenic Index of Plasma is significantly elevated and correlates with cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting its utility for risk stratification.
Lumu et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=500). Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) was evaluated on Correlation between AIP and Castelli Risk Index I (r=0.506, p=<0.001). Atherogenic Index of Plasma positively correlated with cardiovascular risk factors including Castelli Risk Index I (r=0.506) and waist-hip ratio (r=0.1926) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
