Association between atherogenic index of plasma and microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes achieving low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets: a real-world cohort study

Background

Despite achieving low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) targets, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remain at significant risk for microvascular complications. We aimed to investigate whether the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a marker of atherogenic dyslipidaemia, is associated with these complications in a real-world cohort of patients with controlled LDL-C.
