Traditional and nontraditional lipid parameters in <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection

<b>Aims:</b> This study sought to evaluate the relationship between <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection and traditional and nontraditional lipid parameters, including atherogenic index of plasma, cardiogenic risk ratio, atherogenic coefficient and remnant cholesterol. <b>Methods:</b> After the application of exclusion criteria, 309 patients were allocated according to the absence (n = 52) or presence (n = 257) of <i>H. pylori</i> infection. <b>Results:</b> Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels were nonsignificantly higher, and HDL-C levels were nonsignificantly lower, in the <i>H. pylori</i>-infected patient group. Triglyceride-to-HDL-C ratio, LDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio, atherogenic index of plasma, cardiogenic risk ratio, atherogenic coefficient and remnant cholesterol were comparable among groups. <b>Conclusion:</b> There was no significant association between <i>H. pylori</i> infection and traditional and nontraditional novel lipid parameters and indices.
