Description
Wenzhen Li and co-authors examine blood-fat measures and early artery disease in a 2026 journal article from China. They combined the atherogenic index of plasma, a ratio of two blood fats, with body mass, waist size, or waist-to-height ratio. Then they asked how these combined scores relate to silent thickening and plaque in the neck arteries.
The cross-sectional study drew 59,123 adults from a stroke screening program in Hubei from 2017 to 2020. Higher combined scores were linked to thicker artery walls, more plaque, and more narrowing. The body-mass version sorted cases best for artery disease overall, with a test score of 0.833. The authors say later follow-up studies must test whether these cheap measures help in clinic use.
