The correlation between the serum LDL-C/Apo B ratio and lumbar bone mineral density in young adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Numerous studies have confirmed that atherosclerosis is related to osteoporosis (OP), and patients with atherosclerosis are more prone to OP. The ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is the valid indicator of atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, conclusions regarding relation between LDL-C/Apo B ratio and bone mineral density (BMD) are still lacking. As a result, this study concentrated on investigating the relationship between LDL-C/Apo B ratio and lumbar BMD in the young adult population according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods

Information of 2027 young adults (age 20-40 years) from NHANES database was obtained for this cross-sectional study. The correlation between serum LDL-C/Apo
