Visceral Adiposity Index Levels in Patients with Hypothyroidism

Visceral Adiposity Index Levels in Patients with Hypothyroidism

To assess visceral adiposity index (VAI) as a sign of cardio-vascular diseases (CVD) in hypothyroidism patients and to compare CVD risks in overt or subclinical hypothyroidism patients. Sixty-eight hypothyroidism patients (29 with overt and 39 with subclinical hypothyroidism) and 33 age- and gender-...

Zusammenfassung:To assess visceral adiposity index (VAI) as a sign of cardio-vascular diseases (CVD) in hypothyroidism patients and to compare CVD risks in overt or subclinical hypothyroidism patients. Sixty-eight hypothyroidism patients (29 with overt and 39 with subclinical hypothyroidism) and 33 age- and gender-matched control patients were included. VAI levels were calculated with the following formula: (waist circumference (WC)/[36.58+(1.89xbody mass index (BMI))])x[(triglyceride (TG) (mmol/L)/0.81)x(1.52xhigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) (mmol/L))] and (WC/[39.68+(1.88xBMI)])x[(TG (mmol/L)/1.03)x(1.31xHDL-cholesterol (mmol/L))], respectively.
