We obtained similar AIP values (mean 0.15 ± 0.27) as Nwagha et al. [17] in their group of Nigerian postmenopausal women (mean 0.15 ± 0.35), lower than Nansseu et al. [18] Likewise, relation between AIP and known history of diabetes, hypertension and other lipid parameters which have been cited as risks factors for CVD were found [19, 20]. This evidence concerns the gene AIP and Hypertension.
