Association between inflammation-related indicators and vertebral fracture in older adults in the United States: A cross-sectional study based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study was to examine the association between inflammation-related indexes SII (systemic immune-inflammation index), NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio), PPN (product of platelet count and neutrophil count), and PLR (platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio), and the occurrence of vertebral fractures in older Americans.

Methods

Patients ⩾60 years of age from the 2013-2014 NHANES database were selected for this study. Restricted cubic spline models and weighted logistic regression models were used to assess the association between inflammation-related indexes and the occurrence of vertebral fractures in older Americans. The predictive value of the inflammation-related indexes on the occurrence of vertebral fractures was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curv
