Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Radiographic Hand Osteoarthritis: Data From a Community-Based Longitudinal Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To explore whether metabolic syndrome and its components are associated with hand osteoarthritis (OA) using longitudinal data from the Framingham Study. METHODS:Our cross-sectional analyses included 1,089 persons (ages 50-75 years), of whom 785 had longitudinal radiographs obtained 7 years apart. Of these, 586 with no hand OA at baseline were included in analyses of hand OA incidence. We explored associations between metabolic syndrome and its components (central obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, triglyceridemia, and low high-density lipoprotein) and radiographic hand OA (defined as ?2 interphalangeal joints with a Kellgren/Lawrence [K/L] grade of ?2) using logistic regression analyses with adjustment for age, sex, and body mass index. In longitudinal analyses, metabolic syndrome was used as a predictor for change in K/L sum score and incident hand OA. RESULTS:Metabolic syndrome was not associated with the presence of hand OA (odds ratio [OR] 1.11 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.78-1.59]), change in K/L sum score (OR 0.83 [95% CI 0.59-1.17]), or incidence of hand OA (OR 0.91 [95% CI 0.58-1.44]). Hypertension was borderline significantly associated with the presence of hand OA (OR 1.25 [95% CI 0.90-1.74]), and a significant association was found between hypertension and change in K/L sum score (OR 1.47 [95% CI 1.08-1.99]). Consistent dose-response relationships were not demonstrated (data not shown). Furthermore, hypertension was not significantly associated with hand OA incidence (OR 1.23 [95% CI 0.82-1.83]). No significant associations were found between metabolic syndrome and erosive hand OA. CONCLUSION:We found no association between metabolic syndrome and hand OA. The role of hypertension in hand OA pathogenesis warrants further investigation.

Project description:ObjectiveSystemic inflammatory factors have been implicated in symptomatic hand osteoarthritis (OA). Gut microbiome dysbiosis promotes systemic inflammation. The aim of this study was to examine the association between the gut microbiome and the presence of symptomatic hand OA in a population-based study.MethodsStudy participants were subjects of the Xiangya Osteoarthritis Study, a community-based observational study conducted in the Hunan Province of China. Symptomatic hand OA was defined as the presence of both symptoms and radiographic OA in the same hand. The gut microbiome was analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing in stool samples. We examined the relation of α-diversity, β-diversity, relative abundance of taxa, and potential bacterial functional pathways to symptomatic hand OA.ResultsA total of 1,388 participants (mean age 61.3 years, 57.4% women) were included in the study, of whom 72 had symptomatic hand OA (prevalence of symptomatic hand OA 5.2%). Beta-diversity of the gut microbiome, but not α-diversity, was significantly associated with the presence of symptomatic hand OA (P = 0.003). Higher relative abundance of the genera Bilophila and Desulfovibrio as well as lower relative abundance of the genus Roseburia was associated with symptomatic hand OA. Most functional pathways (i.e., those annotated in the KEGG Ortholog hierarchy) that were observed to be altered in participants with symptomatic hand OA belonged to the amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolic pathways.ConclusionThis large, population-based study provides the first evidence that alterations in the composition of the gut microbiome were observed among study participants who had symptomatic hand OA, and a low relative abundance of Roseburia but high relative abundance of Bilophila and Desulfovibrio at the genus level were associated with prevalent symptomatic hand OA. These findings may help investigators understand the role of the microbiome in the development of symptomatic hand OA and could contribute to potential translational opportunities.
