摘要

Background

The Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) is a novel biomarker for assessing the severity of atherosclerosis and has been shown to be closely associated with the risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, no prospective cohort study has comprehensively evaluated both the immediate risk stratification through baseline AIP and the long-term risk assessment through multi-time point AIP trajectories in health screened adults in relation to T2DM risk.

Methods

This longitudinal study included data from 42,850 participants who underwent health check-ups at Henan Provincial People’s Hospital between January 2018 and August 2024. AIP was calculated as the logarithm of the ratio of triglycerides (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The Kaplan-Meier method was employed to analyze the incidence of T2DM across different AIP groups. A Cox model with restricted cubic splines assessed the dose-response relationship between AIP and T2DM risk, while latent class trajectory models (LCTM) evaluated the trends of AIP over multiple time points. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the relationship between baseline AIP quartiles, AIP trajectories, and T2DM risk.

Results

During an average follow-up of 47.95 months, 3,228 participants developed T2DM. Stratifying by baseline AIP quartiles revealed that higher AIP levels were associated with an increased risk of T2DM. Compared to the lowest quartile, the highest quartile had a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.10 (95% CI: 1.74, 2.53). The LCTM identified three trajectory patterns for AIP: with the low-stable group as the reference, the medium-stable and high-stable groups had HRs of 1.72 (95% CI: 1.50, 1.96) and 2.50 (95% CI: 2.06, 3.03), respectively, indicating a significantly elevated risk of T2DM (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

Elevated baseline AIP levels, medium stable trajectories and high stable trajectories are associated with an increased risk of T2DM in health screened adults.
