Abstract
Objective: Atherogenic index of plasma is a relatively new index used to predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases in the general population. Our aim was to investigate association between the development of retinal vein occlusion and atherogenic index of plasma.
 Material and Method: A total of 24 patients with retinal vein occlusion and 24 age-sex matched healthy individuals were included in this retrospective study. The demographic characteristics and laboratory findings of the patients and control subjects were obtained from the electronic medical records. Atherogenic index of plasma was calculated as the logarithmical ratio of molar concentrations of triglycerides to high density lipoprotein cholesterol as. The association among atherogenic index of plasma, lipid metabolism parameters, and retinal vein occlusion was analyzed.
 Results: The median age was 69.5 (range, 48-86) in the patient group and 71.5 (range, 50-84) in the control group (p=812). Although there were no significant differences in terms of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol between two groups (P=0.458, 0.88), atherogenic index of plasma was significantly higher in the patient group (P
