Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) a Tool to Assess Changes in Cardiovascular Disease Risk Post Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Figure 2

Improvement in AIP score post-LSG. There is a significant drop in AIP score in participants with morbid obesity and T2D, after 6 months (, ) and after 1 year of LSG (, ) compared to their baseline levels. In people with morbid-obesity (), AIP decreased after 6 months of LSG (), and the change was significant only after 1 year of LSG (, ) compared to the baseline levels. Black, gray, and white bars represent calculated AIP at baseline, 6-month, and 1-year post-LSG, respectively. , and .
