Sex-specific differences in the relationship between the atherogenic index and hypertension in middle-aged and elderly Chinese
This study identified a significant positive association between elevated atherogenic index of plasma levels and blood pressure dysregulation. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses consistently demonstrated a dose-response relationship, with higher AIP levels associated with increased risk. Stratified analyses by sex revealed that the association between elevated AIP and the incidence of pre-hypertension and hypertension was significantly stronger in women.
