The Role of Serum Calcium Levels in Pediatric Dyslipidemia: Are There Any?

ABSTRACT: Background: No previous study explored the association between serum calcium levels and dyslipidemia in children. This study aimed to explore this relationship in children, based on a multicenter cross-sectional study population in China. Methods: Cross-sectional data was derived from the Pediatric Reference Intervals in China (PRINCE) study conducted between 2017 and 2018 involving 5,252 males and 5,427 females with a mean age of 10.0 ± 4.6 years. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to calculate odds ratios (ORs), with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), for dyslipidemia of each serum calcium level and albumin-corrected calcium levels, which were sorted into quartiles. The restricted cubic spline model was fitted for the dose-response analysis. An L-shaped dose
