摘      要：To the Editor:The atherogenic index of plasma(AIP)is derived from the logarithmic conversion of the ratio of triglyceride(TG)to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C).It comprehensively reflects plasma lipid homeostasis.AIP has been reported to be related to cardiovascular disease(CVD)in population-based studies,^([1])and is regarded as a potential independent predictor for CVD risk in clinical practice.Currently,there are limited data on the characteristics of AIP values in China.We examined the differences in AIP values among ethnic groups based on multiethnic Chinese population data.The reference values of AIP in Chinese adults were established,and their variation tendencies according to age were identified.
