“…These findings were parallel with the results of the previous studies. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]26,27 We additionally found that these lipid levels and atherogenic indices did not differ in lower-or higher-risk groups for exacerbation. Additionally, epidemiological data showed a strong relationship between air-flow limitation and cardiovascular disease.…”

“…In the past decade, in addition to classical atherogenic risk factors, it was described that increases in some lipid ratios called atherogenic indices yield advantages in identifying some individuals with chronic diseases at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]25 To our knowledge, although atherogenic indices were studied to predict cardiovascular disease in some diseases, including diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, systemic hypertension, familial Mediterranean fever, pregnancy-induced hy- pertension, psychiatric diseases, and others, its role in COPD had not been studied. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]26,27 In the present study, we evaluated and compared atherogenic indices (atherogenic index of plasma, cardiogenic risk ratio, and atherogenic coefficient) in addition to the serum lipid parameters in subjects with COPD and in control subjects.…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12] For these prediction algorithms, several lipoprotein ratios or atherogenic indices (atherogenic index of plasma, cardiogenic risk ratio, and atherogenic coefficient) have been defined and investigated in several diseases. 7,9,13,14 To the best of our knowledge, there is no study investigating the association between atherogenic indices in subjects with COPD in the current literature. For this reason, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the plasma levels of lipid parameters and calculated atherogenic indices in subjects with COPD as a predictor of atherosclerosis.…”

“…However, in routine clinical practices, standardized measurements of apolipoprotein B are not always available [ 31 ]. So, this simple ratio of non-HDL (atherogenic) and HDL (antiatherogenic) cholesterol could provide valuable information in identifying subjects who are at risk for cardiovascular disease [ 32 ]. Recently, AIP has been introduced, which is a mathematical relationship between TG and HDL-C and has been successfully used as an additional index for assessment of cardiovascular risk.…”

Relationship between Atherogenic Indices and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Prediabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study from Central India

Prediabetes is the precursor stage of diabetes mellitus and is also considered to be a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Atherogenic indices have been used for assessment of risk for cardiovascular disease development. To date, there is no data on evaluating the relationship between atherogenic indices (cardiac risk ratio (CRR), atherogenic coefficient (AC), and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP)) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in prediabetes. Hence, we aimed to determine atherogenic indices (CRR, AC, and AIP) and CIMT in prediabetic subjects and then sought to evaluate the relationship between them. A total of 400 human subjects were included in the present study, out of which 200 were prediabetic subjects and 200 were normal healthy control subjects. For each subject, CRR, AC, and AIP were calculated from routine lipid parameters and carotid intima-media thickness was measured as well. Atherogenic indices, that is, CRR, AC, and AIP, were significantly increased in prediabetic subjects as compared to the controls (5.87 ± 0.87 vs. 4.23 ± 0.50, p < 0.001; 4.87 ± 0.87 vs. 3.23 ± 0.50, p < 0.001; and 0.29 ± 0.07 vs. 0.09 ± 0.09, p < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, a significant and positive correlation was observed between CIMT and AIP (r = 0.529, p < 0.01), CRR (r = 0.495, p < 0.01), and AC (r = 0.495, p < 0.01). Prediabetic subjects present abnormalities in atherogenic indices and CIMT, which indicate a greater propensity of prediabetes for the development of cardiovascular disease. Hence, atherogenic indices can be used in addition to routine lipid parameters for the better assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis in prediabetic subjects.

“…Gestation leads to a cascade of physiological change in sex hormones levels, hemodynamics, oxidative stress, and so on, which can exert complex influences on major organ systems 5 , therefore, may also have long-term implications for women’s health 7 12 . Prior researches have suggested that reproductive factors might have an additive effect with later glycolipid metabolism 10 11 12 14 15 16 17 18 19 , but their inner-link is still inconsistent. Unfortunately, only limited studies 8 17 18 20 21 devoted substantial progress to evaluating the relationship between childbearing history and the occurrence of female dyslipidemia.…”

Reproductive factors have been shown to correlate with lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parity and serum lipid levels in community-based Chinese female adults. A total of 4,217 female participants were enrolled. Parity was recorded according to questionnaire and serum lipid profile, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), was measured. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association of parity to serum lipid levels, while adjusting for demographics and metabolic risk factors. Parity in this population ranged from 0 to 7. After adjusting for potential confounders, it indicated that females with more than 2 parities appeared to be less likely to suffer from abnormal serum TC level compared with nulliparae (parity = 2, odds ratio (OR) = 0.457, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.284–0.736; parity ≥ 3, OR = 0.363, 95% CI = 0.202–0.653). These findings suggested that parity could correlate with lipid metabolism in Chinese women. Individuals with higher parity appeared to have a lower total cholesterol in blood.
