Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a pathophysiological change based on the abnormal metabolism of many substances. The study aims to investigate the performance of visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP) of MetS in young adults.
448 young adults aged between 19 and 24 years old in Qinhuangdao had been included in this cross-sectional study. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to assess the accuracy of these two obesity indicators for MetS.
The prevalence of MetS was 2.0%. In male subjects, LAP had the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) value (AUC = 0.963), followed by VAI (AUC = 0.937). In female subjects, LAP also had the highest AUC value (AUC = 0.931), followed by VAI (AUC = 0.861). No significant difference was found between the two obesity indicators ( > 0.05).
The two obesity indicators were valuable for the screening of MetS in young adults, and LAP was the simpler of the two.
代谢综合征(MetS)是一种基于多种物质代谢异常的病理生理变化。本研究旨在探讨内脏脂肪指数(VAI)和脂堆积产物(LAP)在年轻成年人代谢综合征中的表现。
本横断面研究纳入了 448 名年龄在 19 至 24 岁之间的秦皇岛市年轻人。受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析用于评估这两种肥胖指标对代谢综合征的准确性。
代谢综合征的患病率为 2.0%。在男性中,LAP 的 ROC 曲线下面积(AUC)值最高(AUC=0.963),其次是 VAI(AUC=0.937)。在女性中,LAP 的 AUC 值也最高(AUC=0.931),其次是 VAI(AUC=0.861)。两种肥胖指标之间无显著差异(>0.05)。
这两种肥胖指标对于年轻成年人代谢综合征的筛查具有价值,且 LAP 更为简便。
