Relationship between lipid accumulation product and cardiovascular events in a normal weight population: Tehran lipid and glucose study

• The lipid accumulation product (LAP) is a relatively new marker for measuring cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor.
•  Recent studies have shown that LAP can be powerful marker for detecting CVD risk factors.
• LAP was proposed by Kahn in 2005. It is based on a combination of waist circumference (WC) and fasting TG and serves as a simple index for lipid over accumulation among adults.
• The minimum WC for females was estimated at 58 cm and 65 cm for men according to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.  It was used to compute the “LAP"
