Abstract

Introduction and Aim: The frequent cause of mortality today is cardiovascular disease. Though dyslipidemia predicts cardiovascular risk, the possibility of risk cannot be excluded in normal lipid profile. Therefore, the study was conducted to associate visceral adiposity index (VAI) with cardiovascular risk factors among young adults. Materials and Methods: It is a cross-sectional study in which 150 men and 150 women between the ages of 20 and 40 participated. A detailed clinical history, anthropometric measurements, fasting plasma glucose and fasting lipid profile were estimated. VAI was calculated. Results: Mean VAI was 2.13±0.5 in men and 2.65±0.8 in women. Based on visceral adiposity index, 53% men and 61% women have a high risk of cardiovascular disease. VAI correlated positively with waist circumference, BMI, waist hip ratio, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, serum triglyceride, lipid ratios. VAI showed significant negative correlation with HDL cholesterol. Conclusion: We explored the increase in cardiovascular risk among young adults. Though mean values of lipid profile and lipid ratios were within the desired range in our study, around 50% of the young adults had high risk for cardiovascular disease. Hence, VAI index can be used along with the existing lipid profile to identify those at increased cardiovascular risk.
年轻人内脏脂肪指数与心血管危险因素的关系
前言与目的:当今最常见的死亡原因是心血管疾病。虽然血脂异常预示心血管风险,但在正常血脂情况下不能排除风险的可能性。因此,本研究旨在将年轻人的内脏脂肪指数(VAI)与心血管危险因素联系起来。材料与方法:这是一项横断面研究,150名男性和150名女性,年龄在20至40岁之间。详细的临床病史,人体测量,空腹血糖和空腹血脂估计。计算VAI。结果:男性平均VAI为2.13±0.5,女性为2.65±0.8。根据内脏脂肪指数,53%的男性和61%的女性有心血管疾病的高风险。VAI与腰围、BMI、腰臀比、血压、空腹血糖、血清甘油三酯、脂质比值呈正相关。VAI与HDL胆固醇呈显著负相关。结论:我们探讨了年轻人心血管风险的增加。虽然在我们的研究中,脂质谱和脂质比率的平均值在期望的范围内,但大约50%的年轻人患心血管疾病的风险很高。因此,VAI指数可以与现有的脂质谱一起用于识别心血管风险增加的人群。
