Correlation of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio with serum α-klotho levels in US middle-aged and older individuals: Results from NHANES 2007-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The α-klotho (αKl) is widely accepted as an anti-aging and anti-inflammatory protein. However, it is rarely reported on the function and mechanism of αKl in the overall population (including healthy people and those with history of chronic disease). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are established as predictors of systemic inflammation. This study aims to investigate the relationship between NLR, PLR, and αKl levels in the overall population.

Methods

Data from 10,124 adults aged 40 years old and above, collected from NHANES 2007-2016, were analyzed. Associations between NLR, PLR, and αKl levels were assessed by weighted multivariate linear regression analyses, adjusting for potential confounders. Subgroup analysis was
