Evaluation of the Relationship Between Metabolic Syndrome, Visceral Adiposity Index and Lipid Accumulation Product in Patients with Obesity
Journal Title: Journal of Academic Research in Medicine - Year 2021, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: Visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product index (LAPI) are the new methods to determine the visceral adiposity and to predict the cardiometabolic risks in patients with. In this study, it was aimed to determine whether VAI or LAPI could be a predictor for metabolic syndrome (MS) in obesity, and to evaluate their relationship with other biochemical and anthropometric parameters. Methods: All patients who were admitted to the obesity outpatient clinic for the first time in January-February 2020 were included in the study. Age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference, waist/hip (W/H) ratio, biochemical parameters, and degree of hepatosteatosis were recorded. The presence of MS was determined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel-III criteria. VAI and LAPI were calculated according to fixed formulations. Results were evaluated by SPSS. Results: A total of 49 subjects, (48 females), with obesity were included in the study. Thirty-two patients (65.3%) had MS. In the MS (+) group, fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and triglyceride (TG) levels, VAI, LAPI, diabetes mellitus and hypertension ratios were higher than the group with MS (-). A positive correlation was observed between VAI and LAPI. There was a positive correlation between the VAI and the TG value, and a negative correlation between the VAI and high density lipoprotein value. A positive correlation was observed between LBU and TG, FBG, HOMA-IR, WC, W/H ratios. Conclusion: It is important to determine the comorbidities in obesity on a timely manner and to make the necessary interventions. With a simple formulation, VAI and LAPI can predict important health risks accompanying obesity.
