Why the study?

Does the atherogenic index of plasma independently predict the risk of cardiovascular disease in Cameroonian postmenopausal women?

Population

108 postmenopausal women in Yaoundé, Cameroon, mean age 56.4 ± 6.9 years.

Design

Cross-sectional

Overview

AIP not independently linked to CVD risk after adjustment; leaves open its value in sub-Saharan postmenopausal women.

Structured PICO

Does the atherogenic index of plasma independently predict the risk of cardiovascular disease in Cameroonian postmenopausal women?

P
Population
108 postmenopausal women in Yaoundé, Cameroon, mean age 56.4 ± 6.9 years.
I
Intervention
Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) derived as log (triglycerides/high-density lipoproteins cholesterol)
O
Outcome
Risk of cardiovascular disease calculated using the Framingham risk score (FRS)surrogate

The atherogenic index of plasma does not appear to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease risk as measured by the Framingham risk score in Cameroonian postmenopausal women.
