“…In our study, individuals with LAP < 34.5 had better metabolic markers than those women with LAP > 34.5, confirming the role of LAP index for identification of metabolic health in postmenopausal women. The cut-off used in our study was close to those adopted by Nascimento Ferreira et al [15]. Interestingly, this cut-off for LAP showed the highest accuracy for metabolic syndrome identification in general population of undiagnosed Brazilian adults [15].…”

“…Since its introduction in the literature, LAP has been shown to be a powerful index for identifying metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and NAFLD in several cohorts, as well as a reliable marker of CVD risk in women with PCOS [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Furthermore, a retrospective study by Ioachimescu et al, has reported that LAP, but not BMI, can predict the all-cause mortality in high CVD risk, non-diabetic patients attending a preventive cardiology clinic [26].…”

“…Indeed, in this NHANES cohort, LAP exhibited better correlations with key CVD risk factors (i.e., heart rate and circulating levels of lipids and uric acid) compared to BMI [9]. Subsequently, LAP has been reported as a reliable marker of CVD risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and a useful index for recognizing insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and metabolic syndrome in various cohorts [10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…The logarithmic value of TG-to-HDL-C ratio was calculated as an indicator of LDL particle size, i.e., a zero value of Log (TG/HDL-C) corresponds to a LDL particle diameter of 25.5 nm that delimits normal type A (negative values) from atherogenic type B (positive values) [6]. Lipid accumulation product (LAP) was calculated as follows: LAP = (WC -58)×TG for women, LAP = (WC -65)× G for men, where WCwaist circumference in cm, TG -serum triglyceride level in mmol/l [7].…”
