Lipid accumulation product and metabolic syndrome: a population-based study in northern Iran, Amol

摘要

Purpose Lipid accumulation product (LAP) demonstrated a strong predictive accuracy for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in previous studies. This study was conducted to determine the predictive performance of LAP compared to obesity indexes. Moreover, the optimal cutoff point of LAP based on the study population waist circumference threshold was estimated in both men and women.
