Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP) Index correlates to cardiovascular risk factors in general population but it has not been tested in hospitalized patients.
OBJECTIVES
We aimed to evaluate associations between LAP Index and metabolic profile in a tertiary hospital.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study with 90 inpatients. Lipid profile, fasting glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements were obtained from electronic medical records. Weight, height and waist circumferences (WC) were assessed; Body Mass Index (BMI) and LAP Index were calculated. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or percentage. Pearson's correlation and Multiple Linear Regression were used to assess the objectives.
RESULTS
Mean age of participants was 55.03 ± 14.86 years and 47.8% (n = 43) were men. After adjustment for sex, age and physic activity LAP Index (log-transformed) was significantly associated with HDL-cholesterol (p < 0.001), fasting glucose (p = 0.02), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.03) and a trend toward total cholesterol (p = 0.07).
CONCLUSION
There are independent association between LAP Index (log-transformed) and metabolic profile in hospitalized patients.
