TY - JOUR TI - Evaluation of Visceral Adiposity Indexes Associated with Atherogenic Plasma Index in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes AB - Aim: This study was aimed to investigate visceral adiposity indicators and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.Material and Methods: A total of 353 adults aged between 18 and 74 years were included in this study. Bodyweight, height, waist, and hip circumference were measured; fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) values were analyzed. Visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), body adiposity index (BAI), body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), conicity index (CI), and AIP levels were calculated.Results: The study included 116 (32.9%) males and 237 (67.1%) females, with a mean age of 57.8±11.5 years. AIP z-scores were found to be directly related to T2DM (OR, 5.03; 95% CI: 1.95-13.01), while VAI z-scores were less associated with T2DM (OR, 1.10; 95% CI: 1.03-1.18). According to the ROC curve analysis, although the area under the curve (AUC) is weak to distinguish diabetic patients with VAI, LAP, and AIP, it is statistically significant (p<0.001, AUC: 0.619, cut-off= 5.1, 95% CI: 0.561-0.677; p=0.007, AUC: 0.583, cut-off= 63.2, 95% CI: 0.523-0.642; and p=0.001, AUC: 0.606, cut-off= 0.4, 95% CI: 0.547-0.665, respectively).Conclusion: VAI, LAP, and AIP are strong predictors of diabetes, AIP is a better predictor of predicting diabetes than VAI and LAP.
