Prevalence and Atherogenic Index of Plasma as a Predictor of Cardiometabolic Syndrome amongst Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnicstudent.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) sometimes regarded as insulin resistance syndrome is a combination of metabolic risk factors, including a combination of diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, obesity and hyperlipidemia. This study was carried out on 50 students of Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic (Kenpoly) Bori, using atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) to determine the prevalence and as a predictor of cardiometabolic syndrome among students of school age. Biochemical (lipid profile analysis) as well as anthropometrical (waist circumference, height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) tests were performed using standard method of measurements. In addition to questionnaires designed to assess the biodata, background information and health history of participants in respect to smoking, diabetics and hypertension. AIP was derived as log of (triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol). Results were analyzed using regression analysis at p≤0.05. The prevalence was calculated as ratio of (number of participant at risk/the total number of the participant) and reported in percentage, and was found to be 20%. The mean age in years of the respondent males (56%) was 26.80±3.30 while that of the females (44%) was 24.10±2.30. AIP ranged from -0.0013 to 0.451 with overall mean of -0.033±0.351. There was a significant negative correlation between (AIP) and waist circumference (r=-0.144,p=0.319), age (r=-0.115,p=0.427) and pulse pressure (r=- 0.143,p=0.321) and a positive correlation between AIP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels. The result indicated that AIP may be an independent factor predicting the risk of cardiometabolic syndromes amongst students of Kenpoly. It is therefore recommended that further studies be conducted on a large population of students to clearly elucidate the inter-relationship between AIP and the risk of cardiometabolic syndrome.
