Correlation of ADIPOQ Gene Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms with Bone Strength Index in Middle-Aged and the Elderly of Guangxi Mulam Ethnic Group.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteoporosis (OP) is a common orthopedic disease in the elderly, and Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) is closely related to bone metabolism.

Objective

To determine the relationship between five single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci in the ADIPOQ gene and osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly Mulam subjects in Hechi, Guangxi.

Methods

This case-control study included 297 middle-aged and elderly Mulam subjects with normal bone mass, 49 subjects with reduced bone mass, and 38 subjects with osteoporosis. Five loci (rs266729, rs1063539, rs2241766, rs3774261, rs710445) of the ADIPOQ in the Mulam subjects were genotyped using SNP with multiple-base extension.

Results

The bone strength index (SI) of middle-aged and elderly Mulam subjects showed an overall decreasing trend when the subjects were older. Age, muscle mass, and subcutaneous fat content were the main factors influencing the SI in Mulam subjects. The GC genotype of rs266729 and the GA and GG genotypes of rs710445 were significantly correlated with risk of bone loss (p < 0.05). rs2241766 and rs1063539 showed strong LD (D' > 0.8, r² > 0.33). rs710445 and rs266729 loci and rs3774261 and rs2241766 loci showed complete LD (D' = 1).

Conclusions

The GC genotype at rs266729 of the ADIPOQ gene, the GA and GG genotypes at rs710445, and the haplotypes CCGAA and GGTAG correlated with osteoporosis (p < 0.05). The allele C of rs1063539, rs266729 and rs710445 may afford protection for osteoporosis. The allele G may be the genetic susceptibility gene for osteoporosis, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

Project description:BackgroundThe present study was conducted to investigate the possible association between gut microbes and immunity among healthy middle-aged and elderly individuals in southwest China. A total of 148 healthy adults aged ≥ 50 years were divided into two age groups: middle-aged group (50-59 years; n = 67, 54.13 ± 3.32) and elderly group (≥ 60 years; n = 81, 64.70 ± 3.93). Blood samples were collected to measure serum immune and biochemical indices. Gut microbiota compositions of the groups were characterized on the basis of faecal DNA using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.ResultsAmong the detected gut microbes, the presence of Alistipes was negatively correlated with age in both groups. In the middle-aged group, age was negatively correlated with the presence of Desulfovibrio and Faecalibacterium. In the elderly group, Coprococcus was present at significantly higher levels; age was negatively correlated with the presence of Lachnobacterium, Oxalobacter and the Chao index, whereas positively correlated with the presence of Sutterella. In the middle-aged group, the presence of Bacteroidetes was positively correlated with serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels and the percent of CD8+ T cells and negatively correlated with the CD4+/CD8+ ratio; the presence of Firmicutes was negatively correlated with IgM levels; Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio was positively correlated with IgG and IgM levels and Simpson index was negatively correlated with the percent of CD8+ T cells and positively correlated with CD4+/CD8+ ratio. In the elderly group, the presence of Verrucomicrobia (identified as genus Akkermansia) was positively correlated with IgA levels and the percent of CD8+ T cells and negatively correlated with the percent of CD4+ T cells and CD4+/CD8+ ratio; the Chao index and observed species were positively correlated with IgA levels.ConclusionsThese results indicated that ageing could significantly correlate with the composition of gut microbiota in terms of quantity and quality. Changes in gut microbiota caused by ageing, characterized by decreased Bacteroidetes levels, might be associated with immunosenescence among healthy middle-aged and elderly people in southwest China.

Project description:The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a novel composite lipid index, is closely linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, lipid levels fluctuate dynamically, and it is unclear whether there are differences in the association of single-timescale, multiple-timescale, or AIP change trajectories with new-onset cardiovascular disease. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between different AIP parameters and the occurrence of CVD. Data were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) conducted in 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2020, focusing on middle-aged and elderly populations aged over 45 years. Changes in AIP were classified into three groups using K-means cluster analysis: the low-level growth group (Class 1), the medium-level growth group (Class 2), and the high-level decline group (Class 3). Furthermore, participants were grouped based on tertiles (T) of cumulative AIP (Cum-AIP). Our multivariate logistic regression model integrated adjustments for potential confounders in order to investigate the association between Cum-AIP and the occurrence of CVD. Additionally, we employed restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling to illustrate the dose-response relationship of baseline AIP, mean AIP, and Cum-AIP with CVD risk. During the 5-year follow-up period, 927 participants experienced the onset of CVD. After controlling for various potential confounding factors, it was observed that individuals in Class 2 demonstrated a notably heightened risk of CVD (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.46) and stroke (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.80) in comparison to those in Class 1. However, there was no significant difference in the risk of heart disease (OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.99, 1.48). In contrast, a noteworthy correlation was solely observed in the Class 3 group concerning the risk of stroke occurrence (OR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.06, 2.42). The adjusted OR (95% CI) for CVD in the T2 and T3 groups were 1.21 (1.00, 1.46) and 1.30 (1.05, 1.62), respectively, compared to the T1 Cum-AIP group (P for trend = 0.017). Through the RCS model, we identified a positive and linear relationship between baseline AIP, mean AIP, and Cum-AIP with the incidence of CVD. However, the association between baseline AIP and CVD was weak. Sustained elevation of AIP is linked to a heightened risk of CVD in the general population. The elevated mean, and Cum-AIP levels are associated with a heightened risk of CVD. These findings indicate that AIP can serve as a valuable indicator of dyslipidemia, and continuous monitoring and early intervention targeting AIP may contribute to a further reduction in the incidence of CVD.

Project description:BackgroundEvidence exists of a strong association between inflammation and a decrease in skeletal muscle function and bone mineral density (BMD); however, the specific mechanisms of these associations remain unclear. Adipokines, as key regulators of the inflammatory response, may be implicated in these processes. The objective of this study was to explore the potential correlation between adipokines, skeletal muscle function and BMD in middle-aged and elderly individuals.MethodsA comparative cross-sectional study was carried out at the Huadong Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University (Shanghai, China). A total of 460 middle-aged and elderly individuals were recruited, and 125 were enrolled in the analysis. Their biochemical indices, body composition, skeletal muscle function and BMD were measured. Bioinformatic analysis was also employed to identify potential adipokine targets linked to skeletal muscle function and BMD. To validate these targets, plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were harvested from these individuals and subjected to western blotting (WB) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).ResultsIndividuals in this cross-sectional study were categorized into 2 groups according to their median skeletal muscle mass (SMM) (28.8 kg for males and 20.6 kg for females). Individuals with lower SMM exhibited poorer grip strength (P = 0.017), longer 5-Times-Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) duration (P = 0.029), lower total hip BMD (P = 0.043), lower femoral neck BMD (P = 0.011) and higher levels of inflammatory markers in comparison with individuals with higher SMM. Bioinformatics analysis identified LEP, ADIPOQ, RBP4, and DPP4 as potential adipokine targets associated with skeletal muscle function and BMD. In vitro experiments demonstrated that individuals with decreased skeletal muscle function and BMD expressed higher levels of these adipokines.ConclusionsSkeletal muscle function is positively correlated with BMD and negatively correlated with levels of inflammatory markers among middle-aged and elderly individuals. Those with lower skeletal muscle function and BMD tend to have a higher expression of LEP, ADIPOQ, RBP4 and DPP4.

Project description:AimExplore the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, along with its derivative indices, and the prevalence of cataracts.MethodsData from 20,497 participants in the 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were compiled. A final total of 4,499 individuals met the eligibility criteria. Cataract presence was assessed through a self-reported history of cataract surgery. The TyG index and its derivatives-TyG-waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), TyG-neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), TyG-monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), TyG-log platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (lgPLR), TyG-log systemic inflammation index (lgSII), and TyG-systemic inflammation response index (SIRI)-were calculated. Statistical analyses included multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves for nonlinear relationships, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.ResultsHigher TyG indices were significantly associated with cataract presence (P < 0.001). Specifically, TyG-WHtR, TyG-NLR, TyG-lgPLR, TyG-lgSII, and TyG-SIRI exhibited positive correlations with cataract prevalence, even after adjustment for potential confounders (odds ratio [OR] = 1.17; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01, 1.37; P = 0.0403; [OR] = 1.01; 95% [CI]: 1.00, 1.02; P = 0.0258; [OR] = 1.08; 95% [CI]: 1.01, 1.16; P = 0.0223; [OR] = 1.08; 95% [CI]: 1.03, 1.14; P = 0.001; [OR] = 1.02; 95% [CI]: 1.00, 1.04; P = 0.0120). Furthermore, the stratified analysis showed that in the 61-85 age group, TyG-lgPLR and TyG-lgSII remained positively associated with cataract prevalence ([OR] = 1.09; 95% [CI]: 1.01, 1.17; P = 0.024; [OR] = 1.08; 95% [CI]: 1.02, 1.13; P = 0.005). RCS analysis revealed a linear association between these indices and cataracts, with no apparent threshold effect. ROC analysis indicated that TyG-MLR demonstrated the highest predictive ability for cataract presence.ConclusionThe study results indicate a positive association between TyG-related indicators and cataract the prevalence of cataracts in middle-aged and elderly individuals, suggesting that these markers may serve as practical biomarkers for identifying high-risk individuals. Early detection and management of metabolic and inflammatory factors could contribute to effective preventive strategies for cataract development in the elderly population.

Project description:Introduction China has the largest population of diabetic patients (about 116 million) in the world. As a novel model of the fat index for Chinese people, the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) was considered a reliable indicator to assess the dysfunction of visceral fat. This study aimed to explore the dose–response relationship between CVAI and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Chinese population, considering CVAI as a continuous/categorical variable. Method Baseline and follow-up data were collected from waves 2011 and 2015, respectively, of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the relationship between CVAI and T2DM. We built three models to adjust the possible effect of 10 factors (age, gender, education level, location, marital status, smoking status, drinking status, sleep time, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)) on the outcome. The restricted cubic splines were used to examine possible non-linear associations and visualize the dose–response relationship between CVAI and T2DM. Results A total of 5,014 participants were included, with 602 (12.00%) T2DM patients. The last CVAI quartile group (Q4) presented the highest risk of T2DM (OR, 2.17, 95% CI, 1.67–2.83), after adjusting for all covariates. There was a non-linear (U-shaped) relationship between the CVAI and the risk of T2DM (p for non-linear <0.001) in the restricted cubic spline regression model. CVAI was a risk factor of T2DM when it exceeded 92.49; every interquartile range (IQR) increment in the CVAI was associated with a 57% higher risk of developing T2DM (OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.36–1.83) after adjusting for potential confounders. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) (95% confidence interval) for CVAI was 0.623, and the optimal cutoff point was 111.2. There was a significant interaction between CVAI and gender by stratified analysis. Conclusion CVAI was closely associated with the risk of T2DM and might possibly be a potential marker in predicting T2DM development. The outcome suggested that it might be better to maintain CVAI within an appropriate range.
