Association Between Lipid Accumulation Product and Target Organ Damage in Elderly Population: The Northern Shanghai Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Lipid accumulation product (LAP), calculated from waist circumference (WC) and triglycerides (TG), is a novel index that correlates cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate the relationship between LAP and target organ damage (TOD) in elderly Chinese community-dwelling individuals.

Materials and methods

We enrolled 3363 participants whose age was ≥65 years old. TOD, including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), arterial stiffness (AS), lower extremity atherosclerotic (LEA), micro-albuminuria (MAU) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), was measured using standard methods. LAP was calculated as (WC-65) × TG in men and (WC-58) × TG in women. Both quartiles and continuation of LAP were analyzed.

Results

Age-sex adjusted partial correlation analysis showed that LAP was significantly associated with CVD risk factors. With the first quartile (Q1) as a reference, in univariate logistic regression, the fourth quartile (Q4) of LAP was associated with all TOD. In multivariate model, Q4 of LAP was only associated with an increased risk of AS (odds ratio (OR) = 1.88, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.37-2.58, P _{for trend} < 0.001), MAU (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.01-1.75, P _{for trend} = 0.02) and CKD (OR = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.39-4.12, P _{for trend} < 0.001). But, Q4 of LAP was not associated with an increased risk of LVH (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 0.85-1.65, P _{for trend} = 0.25) or LEA (OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.58-1.29, P _{for trend} = 0.96). Similar associations were found when analyzed continuously.

Conclusion

The novel metabolic parameter LAP is significantly and independently associated with an increased risk of arterial stiffness, chronic kidney disease and micro-albuminuria in Chinese community-dwelling elderly individuals.

Project description:Background: Walking, as the most common campaign in older people, is recommended to improve their cardiovascular health. However, the direct association between weekly walking activity and asymptomatic hypertensive mediated organ damage (HMOD) remains unclear. Methods: 2,830 community-dwelling elderly subjects (over 65 years) in northern Shanghai were recruited from 2014 to 2018. Weekly walking activity was assessed by International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ). Within the framework of comprehensive cardiovascular examinations, HMOD, including left ventricular mass index, peak transmitral pulsed Doppler velocity/early diastolic tissue Doppler velocity, creatinine clearance rate, urinary albumin-creatinine ratio, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), arterial plaque, and ankle-brachial index (ABI), were all evaluated. Results: 1,862 (65.8%) participants with weekly walking activity showed lower CIMT, lower cf-PWV, fewer abnormal ABI, and lower prevalence of hypertension and coronary heart disease (p < 0.05). Walking activity was negatively correlated with age and smokers (correlation coefficient: -0.066, -0.042; both p < 0.05). After adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors and concomitant diseases, walking activity was significantly associated with better indicator of most vascular HMOD in multivariate logistic regressions, including arterial stiffness [odds ratio (OR) = 0.75, p = 0.01], increased CIMT (OR = 0.70, p = 0.03), and peripheral artery disease (OR = 0.72, p = 0.005), but not cardiac or renal HMOD. Subgroup analysis further showed that walking duration ≥1 h/day was significantly associated with decreased risk of most vascular HMOD after adjustment for confounders and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity based on IPAQ (all p < 0.05). Conclusions: In the community-dwelling elderly Chinese, there was a significant negative association of weekly walking activity with vascular HMOD, but not cardiac or renal HMOD. Increased daily walking duration, but not walking frequency, was significantly associated with improved vascular HMOD. Hence, increasing daily walking duration seems to encourage a healthy lifestyle in terms of vascular protection. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02368938.

Project description:BackgroundWith increasing age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline is a frequent manifestation and is strongly associated with other preclinical target organ damage (TOD). In literature, many equations exist in assessing patients' eGFR. However, these equations were mainly derived and validated in the population from Western countries, which equation should be used for risk stratification in the Chinese population remains unclear, as well as their comparison. Considering that TOD is a good marker for risk stratification in the elderly, in this analysis, we aimed to investigate whether the recent eGFR equations derived from Asian and Chinese are better associated with preclinical TOD than the other equations in elderly Chinese.MethodsA total of 1,599 community-dwelling elderly participants (age >65 years) in northern Shanghai were prospectively recruited from June 2014 to August 2015. Conventional cardiovascular risk factors were assessed, and hypertensive TOD including left ventricular mass index (LVMI), carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), ankle-brachial index (ABI) and urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) was evaluated for each participant. Participant's eGFR was calculated from the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), Chinese-abbreviated MDRD (c-aMDRD), Asian-modified CKD-EPI (aCKD-EPI) equation and Chinese-modified CKD-EPI (cCKD-EPI) equation.ResultsIn multivariate regression analysis, only eGFRs from aCKD-EPI were significantly and inversely associated with carotid IMT (P=0.005). In multivariate logistic models, decreased eGFR from all the equations were significantly associated with lower ABI (P<0.001), microalbuminuria (P=0.02 to P<0.001) and increased cf-PWV (P<0.001). Only decreased eGFRs from aCKD-EPI and cCKD-EPI equations were significantly associated with increased IMT (both crude P<0.05). In the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis, only aCKD-EPI and cCKD-EPI equations presented significant associations with all the listed preclinical TODs (P-value from <0.05 to <0.001).ConclusionIn community-dwelling elderly Chinese, eGFRs from aCKD-EPI and cCKD-EPI equations are better associated with preclinical TOD. aCKD-EPI and cCKD-EPI equations should be preferred when making risk assessment.

Project description:BackgroundIt has been reported that the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index may serve as a simple and credible surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). However, its association with macrovascular and microvascular damage is unclear. Accordingly, the objective of the present study is to investigate the association of macrovascular and microvascular damage with the TyG index.MethodsA total of 2830 elderly participants from the Northern Shanghai Study (NSS) were enrolled. The TyG index was calculated as ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Parameters of vascular damage, including carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV), ankle-brachial index (ABI), carotid intima-media thickness (CMT), carotid plaque, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), were measured and calculated.ResultsIn univariate logistic regression, an increased TyG index was associated with a higher risk of cf-PWV > 10 m/s, ba-PWV > 1800 cm/s, ABI < 0.9, microalbuminuria (MAU) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In multivariable logistic regression, there was a significant increase in the risk of cf-PWV > 10 m/s (OR = 1.86, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.37-2.53, Pfor trend < 0.001), ba-PWV > 1800 cm/s (OR = 1.39, [95% CI] 1.05-1.84, Pfor trend= 0.02), MAU (OR = 1.61, [95% CI] 1.22-2.13, Pfor trend < 0.001) and CKD (OR = 1.67, [95% CI] 1.10-1.50, Pfor trend= 0.02) after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, waist circumference, smoking habit, hypertension, family history of premature CVD, diabetes, HDL-C, LDL-C, insulin therapy and statin therapy. However, no significant relationship was observed between the TyG index and lower extremity atherosclerosis, carotid hypertrophy or carotid plaque.ConclusionAn elevated TyG index was significantly associated with a higher risk of arterial stiffness and nephric microvascular damage. This conclusion lends support to the clinical significance of the TyG index for the assessment of vascular damage.
