Key result
Higher atherogenic index of plasma in young Korean adults was significantly associated with increasing trends in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL-cholesterol.
Why the study?
Although the atherogenic index of plasma has been extensively investigated, studies evaluating nutritional intake and eating habits in relation to it are scarce.
Cross-Sectional (n=3,040)
In young Korean adults, a higher atherogenic index of plasma is significantly associated with worse cardiometabolic health indicators and unhealthy lifestyle habits.
AIP-nutrition associations in young Korean adults are hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed before clinical relevance.
Purpose: Cardiovascular disease is one of the major causes of death not only in Korea but also worldwide.Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been extensively investigated, but studies on nutritional intake and eating habits are scarce.The purpose of this study was to analyze the general characteristics, dietary habits, and nutritional status of Korean adults based on their AIP values using data from the 2013-2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.Methods: A total number of 3,040 adults in their 20s and 30s were included as study subjects.They were divided into quintiles according to their AIP values.Comparisons were then made among the general information, eating habits, and nutritional intake statuses of the groups.Results: The averages of AIP were different by age, obese status, education, occupation, alcohol drinking frequency, smoking, and exercise in men.As for women, the averages of AIP were different by age, obese status, education, occupation, alcohol drinking frequency, and smoking status.Except for high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, higher AIP values in men were associated with significant increasing trends in health indicators, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol.As for women, as AIP increased, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL-cholesterol showed significant increasing trends except

Hwang et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular risk (Atherogenic index of plasma) (n=3,040). Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) vs. Lower AIP quintiles was evaluated on Trends in health indicators (blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin, lipids) across AIP quintiles (p=<0.001). Higher atherogenic index of plasma in young Korean adults was significantly associated with increasing trends in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL-cholesterol.
