Association between malnutrition exposure in early life and elevated atherogenic index of plasma in adulthood
Fetal exposure to malnutrition might be associated with higher risk of elevated AIP in adulthood, especially in the female population and people who lived in the rural areas, indicating that they might have higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Special attention and targeted intervention are needed for those who have experienced malnutrition in the fetal period, and AIP is expected to be an indicator for monitoring metabolism-related diseases for them.
