Evaluation of performance of Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP), an obesity index as a marker for diagnosing overt type 2 diabetes mellitus over Body Mass Index (BMI)
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Objectives of the study: To compare the indices available to measure obesity such as BMI and “lipid accumulation product” (LAP) with respect to risk for development of Type-II Diabetes mellitus. Methodology: The study design was cross sectional with sample size of 120. Anthropometric measurements (BMI and LAP) and biochemical estimations (blood glucose & lipid profile) were carried out. Results: We compared the values of LAP and BMI with Fasting blood glucose. The area under the curve was 0.75 and 0.73 respectively which meant LAP was better in identification of overt Type 2 Diabetes. The cut off for BMI is 25.98 with Sensitivity of 0.83, Specificity of 0.64 & youden index 0.47. The cut off for LAP is 50.79 with Sensitivity of 0.79, Specificity of 0.68 & youden index 0.46.
