[PMID: 39080664 PMCID: PMC11287930 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02215-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the known association between chronic inflammation and reduced muscle mass, there is a gap in research regarding the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and sarcopenic obesity (SO). This study aims to assess the relationship between SII and SO in middle-aged and elderly adults and the mediating role of triglyceride-glucose index (TyG). METHODS This cross-sectional study involved 2,719 participants aged 45-90 years who underwent health check-ups. SO was evaluated by combining sarcopenia [assessed by handgrip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI)] with obesity (determined by body fat percentage). Association between SII and SO, sarcopenia, and obesity in middle-aged and elderly individuals was examined using multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic spline analysis, and subgroup analysis. Bidirectional mediation analysis was conducted to determine the direct and indirect effects through SII and TyG. RESULTS The study included 2,719 participants, of which 228 had SO (8.4%). SO prevalence increased as the SII quartiles rose (Pfor trend <0.001). SII (per SD increase) had a significantly positive association with SO in both middle-aged individuals (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.43 ~ 1.99) and older adults (OR = 2.52, 95% CI: 1.68 ~ 3.77). The relationship between SII and SO was found to be non-linear (Pnonlinear<0.05). In addition, SII showed a strong negative relationship with both handgrip strength and ASMI across all participants. In subgroup analysis, SII was still shown to significantly increase the risk of SO in all subgroups by gender, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, drinking, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia. TyG was found to mediate 21.36%, 11.78%, and 9.94% of the associations between SII and SO, sarcopenia, and obesity, respectively. SII had no mediation effect on the association between TyG and SO, sarcopenia, and obesity (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Elevated levels of SII were associated with an increased risk of SO in middle-aged and elderly adults, especially in the elderly population, and elevated TyG levels played a role in this relationship.

Adams-Huet B, Jialal I. An Increasing Triglyceride-Glucose Index Is Associated with a Pro-Inflammatory and Pro-Oxidant Phenotype. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3941. [PMID: 38999506 PMCID: PMC11242814 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Insulin resistance is crucial in the pathogenesis of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), a validated measure of insulin resistance, also predicts MetS, T2DM, the severity of albuminuria and ASCVD. There are scant data providing mechanistic insights into these sequalae. Accordingly, we investigated the relationship between the TyG index and biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, free fatty acid (FFA) levels and adipokine dysregulation in a cohort comprising both controls and patients with nascent MetS. Methods: Participants (n = 102) included 59 patients with MetS and 43 controls. People with diabetes, ASCVD, smoking and macro-inflammation were excluded. Fasting blood was obtained for both plasma and monocyte isolation. Results: Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the TyG index was an excellent predictor of MetS with an area under the curve of 0.87, and it correlated with both hepatic and adipose tissue insulin resistance. Both serum RBP-4 levels and non-HDL cholesterol increased significantly over tertiles of the TyG index. Based on the TyG index tertiles and/or correlations, oxidized LDL, nitrotyrosine, C-reactive protein, endotoxin, chemerin, interleukin-6 levels and monocyte toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and TLR-2 and their cellular signaling were significantly associated with the TyG index. Conclusions: Increased non-HDL-C and, most importantly, a pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant state could be advanced as potential mechanisms explaining the increased risk for T2DM and ASCVD with an increasing TyG index.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study, utilizing data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2018, investigates the association between the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a lipid biomarker, and symptoms of depression in American adults. METHODS In this cross-sectional study of 12,534 adults aged 20 years and older, depressive symptoms were measured utilizing the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale. Weighted logistic regression models were employed to scrutinize the independent relationship between AIP levels and the likelihood of developing such symptoms. Moreover, a series of subgroup analyses were conducted to delve deeper into these relationships. RESULTS Following adjustment for confounders, logistic regression by grouping AIP into quartiles revealed a significant association between AIP and an augmented likelihood of self-reported depression. Participants in the fourth quartile (Q4) exhibited a higher odds ratio (OR = 1.34, 95 % CI: 1.02-1.75, p < 0.05) compared to those in the first quartile (Q1). Notably, subgroup analysis unveiled significant interactions involving the smoking and diabetes subgroups, indicating that smoking status and diabetes may modify the relationship between AIP and depression incidence. CONCLUSION This study reveals a positive correlation between AIP and the self-reported likelihood of depression among US adults, thereby underscoring AIP's potential clinical utility as a biomarker for depressive disorders. Our findings emphasize the necessity to consider and optimize cardiovascular health factors within depression management strategies and offer fresh insights into the development of risk stratification and intervention methods for psychiatric conditions.

BMC Cancer 2024; 24:782. [PMID: 38951749 PMCID: PMC11218411 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12568-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The cardiotoxicity related to 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in cancer patients has garnered widespread attention. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has recently been identified as a novel predictive marker for the development of cardiovascular illnesses in individuals without pre-existing health conditions. However, it remains unclear whether the levels of SII are linked to cardiotoxicity related to 5-FU. This retrospective study aims to fill this knowledge gap by examining the correlation between SII and cardiotoxicity related to 5-FU in a colorectal cancer cohort. METHODS The study comprised colorectal cancer patients who received 5-FU-based chemotherapy at the affiliated cancer hospital of Guizhou Medical University between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2020. After adjustment for confounders and stratification by tertiles of the interactive factor, linear regression analyses, curve fitting and threshold effect analyses were conducted. RESULTS Of the 754 patients included final analysis, approximately 21% (n = 156) of them ultimately experienced cardiotoxicity related to 5-FU. Monocytes (M) was found as an influential element in the interaction between SII and cardiotoxicity related to 5-FU. In the low tertile of M (T1: M ≤ 0.38 × 109/L), increasing log SII was positively correlated with cardiotoxicity related to 5-FU (Odds Ratio [OR], 8.04; 95% confidence interval [95%CI], 1.68 to 38.56). However, a curvilinear relationship between log SII and cardiotoxicity was observed in the middle tertile of M (T2: 0.38 < M ≤ 0.52 × 109/L). An increase in log SII above 1.37 was shown to be associated with a decreased risk of cardiotoxicity (OR, 0.14; 95%CI, 0.02 to 0.88), indicating a threshold effect. In the high tertile of M (T3: M > 0.52 × 109/L), there was a tendency towards a negative linear correlation between the log SII and cardiotoxicity was observed (OR, 0.85; 95%CI, 0.37 to 1.98). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that SII may serve as a potential biomarker for predicting cardiotoxicity related to 5-FU in colorectal cancer patients. SII is an independent risk factor for cardiotoxicity related to 5-FU with low monocytes levels (T1). Conversely, in the middle monocytes levels (T2), SII is a protective factor for cardiotoxicity related to 5-FU but with a threshold effect.

Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:190.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a risk marker for arterial stiffness; however, the extent to which the TyG index is associated with arterial stiffness via lipids and inflammation remains unknown. The first aim was to probe the relationship between the TyG index and arterial stiffness in two surveys. The second aim was to clarify whether lipids and inflammation mediate this relationship. METHODS The sample size of 13,726 U.S. individuals from the National Examination Survey (NHANES) and 3,964 Chinese individuals from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS 2015) were enrolled. Weighted multivariate logistic and linear regression models, as well as restricted cubic spline (RCS) and mediation analyses, were utilized to estimate complex relationships between the TyG index, arterial stiffness, lipids (non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [non-HDL-C]) and inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP]) biomarkers. RESULTS A total of 3,420 U.S. patients and 992 Chinese patients were diagnosed with increased arterial stiffness. Regression analyses demonstrated that higher quartiles of the TyG index were associated with a greater incidence of increased arterial stiffness (NHANES: OR = 2.610, 95% CI = 2.043-3.334, P < 0.001; CHARLS: OR = 1.579, 95% CI = 1.057-2.360, P < 0.001). Participants with a higher TyG index/higher CRP level or with a higher TyG index/higher non-HDL-C level had the highest incidence of increased arterial stiffness in the two surveys. The results were still consistent when the sensitivity analysis was implemented with stricter clinical cut-off values of non-HDL-C. Mediation analysis verified that lipids (mediated effect: β = 0.012, P < 0.001 in NHANES; β = 0.020, P < 0.001 in CHARLS) and inflammation (mediated effect: β = 0.003, P < 0.001 in NHANES; β = 0.006, P < 0.001 in CHARLS) partially mediated this relationship. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated a positive linear correlation between the TyG index, non-HDL-C level, CRP level and increased arterial stiffness in two surveys. Furthermore, lipids and inflammation could partly mediate the correlation of the TyG index with arterial stiffness in both surveys.

Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:188. [PMID: 38907289 PMCID: PMC11191244 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02172-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The anti-aging protein Klotho has diverse functions in antioxidative stress and energy metabolism through several pathways. While it has been reported that α-Klotho is downregulated in patients with insulin resistance (IR), the association between Klotho and IR is complex and controversial. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has provided a practical method for assessing IR. With this in mind, our study aimed to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and soluble α-Klotho protein levels in US populations, both with and without diabetes mellitus. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed data from middle-aged and older participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2016. The participants were divided into two groups based on their diabetes mellitus status: those with diabetes and those without diabetes. To evaluate the relationship between the TyG index and the concentration of the α-Klotho protein in each group, a series of survey-weighted multivariable linear regression models were employed. Furthermore, to examine the association between these two variables, multivariable-adjusted restricted cubic spline curves and subgroup analysis were generated. RESULTS The study involved 6,439 adults aged 40 years or older, with a mean age of 57.8 ± 10.9 years. Among them, 1577 (24.5%) had diabetes mellitus. A subgroup analysis indicated that the presence of diabetes significantly affected the relationship between the TyG index and the α-Klotho level. After considering all covariables, regression analysis of the participants without diabetes revealed that the α-Klotho concentration decreased by 32.35 pg/ml (95% CI: -50.07, -14.64) with each one unit increase in TyG (p < 0.001). The decline in α-Klotho levels with elevated TyG was more pronounced in the female population. In patients with diabetes mellitus, a non-linear association between the TyG index and α-Klotho was observed. There was no significant correlation observed between the two when TyG index were below 9.7. However, there was an increase in klotho levels of 106.44 pg/ml for each unit increase in TyG index above 9.7 (95% CI: 28.13, 184.74) (p = 0.008). CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that the presence of diabetes may influence the relationship between the TyG index and soluble α-Klotho. Furthermore, there seem to be sex differences in individuals without diabetes. Further studies are necessary to validate these findings.

Abstract
Blood cell ratios are a standard clinical index for the assessment of inflammation. Although a large number of epidemiological investigations have shown that inflammation is a potential risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), there is not sufficient and direct evidence to confirm the relationship between blood cell ratios and CHD. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the effect of blood cell ratios on the incidence of coronary heart disease. This 10-year national study included data from 24,924 participants. The independent variable was blood cell ratios, and the dependent variable was coronary heart diseases (yes or no). The relationship between blood cell ratios and coronary heart disease was verified using baseline characteristic analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis, smoothed fitted curves, and subgroup analysis. This study found that in multiple logistic regression analysis showed significant positive correlation between monocyte counts × meutrophil counts/lymphocyte counts (SIRI) (OR = 1.495; 95% CI = 1.154-1.938), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) (OR = 3.081; 95% CI = 1.476-6.433) and the incidence of CHD; lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) (OR = 0.928;95% CI = 0.873-0.987), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (OR = 0.997;95% CI = 0.994-1.000) showed negative correlation with CHD. The smoothed curve fitting shows a nonlinear relationship between SIRI, LMR, PLR, and CHD, with an inverted U-shaped curve between SIRI and CHD, an L-shaped angle between LMR and CHD, and a U-shaped curve between PLR and CHD, respectively. Their inflection points are 1.462, 3.75, and 185.714, respectively. SIRI has an inverted U-shaped curve with coronary heart disease, suggesting that low levels of SIRI increase the risk of CHD; LMR with an L-shaped curve with CHD, and PLR with a U-shaped curve with CHD, suggesting that the risk of CHD can be prevented when LMR and PLR are reduced to a certain level. This has positive implications for the prevention and treatment of CHD.

Abstract
Background Studies on the relationship between the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and bone mineral density (BMD) among adult women in the United States are limited. The purpose of this study was to explore this association using a sizable, nationally representative sample. Methods Data from the 2011 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used in this observational study. The AIP was computed as log10 (triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). Total BMD was measured via dual-energy X-ray densitometry. We constructed multiple linear regression models to evaluate the correlation between the AIP and BMD. The non-linear relationship was characterized by smooth curve fitting and generalized additive models. We also conducted subgroup and interaction analyses. Results In this study, we included 2,362 adult women with a mean age of 38.13 ± 12.42 years. The results of multiple linear regression analysis, the AIP and total BMD showed a negative association (β = -0.021, 95%CI: -0.037, -0.006). The curve fitting analysis and threshold effect analysis showed a non-linear relationship between the two variables, and the inflection point of the AIP was found to be -0.61. The total BMD decreased significantly when the AIP reached this value (β = -0.03, 95%CI: -0.04, -0.01). The results of the subgroup analysis showed that AIP and total BMD had a strong negative relationship in participants who were below 45 years old (β = -0.023; 95% CI: -0.041, -0.004), overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) (β = -0.022; 95% CI: -0.041, -0.002), had a higher education level (β = -0.025; 95% CI: -0.044, -0.006), and had no partners (β = -0.014; 95% CI: -0.06, -0.009). Conclusions We found a negative correlation between the AIP and total BMD. Clinicians should pay attention to patients with high AIP, which might indicate a low BMD and has reference significance in preventing osteoporosis.

Abstract
Introduction Serological responses following hepatitis B vaccination are crucial for preventing hepatitis B (HBV). However, the potential relationship between serum lipid levels and immunity from HBV vaccination remains poorly understood. Methods In this study, we conducted an analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data spanning from 2003 to 2016. Multivariable weighted logistic regression models, generalized linear analysis, stratified models, smooth curve fitting, segmentation effect analysis and sensitivity analysis were utilized to assess the relationships. Results After adjusting for relevant covariates, we observed that low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) were independently linked to a significantly lower seroprotective rate. Compared to HDL levels of ≥ 60 mg/dL, the odds ratios (ORs) for individuals with borderline levels (40-59 mg/dL for men, 50-59 mg/dL for women) and low levels (< 40 mg/dL for men, < 50 mg/dL for women) were 0.83 (95% CI 0.69-0.99) and 0.65 (95% CI 0.56-0.78), respectively. This association was particularly pronounced in individuals aged 40 or older. Conversely, higher levels of the triglyceride to HDL (TG/HDL) ratio (OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.84-0.98), total cholesterol to HDL (Chol/HDL) ratio (OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.64-0.92), and low-density lipoprotein to HDL (LDL/HDL) ratio (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.76-0.96) were associated with a decreased likelihood of seroprotection. Conclusion This study suggests that lipid levels may play a role in modulating the immune response following HBV vaccination.

Inverted U-Shaped Association of Plasma Resolvin D2 With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and the Mediation Effects of Serum Cholesterol: A Chinese Community-Based Study. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e032588. [PMID: 38420767 PMCID: PMC10944022 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.032588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Resolvin D2 (RvD2) has been reported to protect against the development of atherosclerosis in animal models. The objective of this study was to examine the prospective association between plasma RvD2 and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) at the population level. METHODS AND RESULTS A cohort of 2633 community-dwelling individuals aged 35-60 years was followed for 8 years in this study. Adjusted hazard ratios and 95% CIs for ASCVD outcomes according to baseline RvD2 levels were calculated using Cox proportional hazards models. Mediation analysis was used to test the indirect effect of serum cholesterol indicators on the association between RvD2 and ASCVD probability. In total, 284 new cases of ASCVD were identified during follow-up. An inverted U-shaped association between natural log (ln)-transformed RvD2 and incident ASCVD was determined, and the threshold value for lnRvD2 was 3.87. Below the threshold, each unit increase in lnRvD2 was associated with a 2.05-fold increased risk of ASCVD (95% CI, 1.13-3.74; P=0.019). Above the threshold, each unit increase in lnRvD2 was associated with a 36% reduced risk of ASCVD (95% CI, 0.51-0.80; P<0.001). In addition, the association between RvD2 and ASCVD probability was partially mediated by high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (15.81%) when lnRvD2 <3.87, but by total cholesterol (30.23%) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (30.13%) when lnRvD2 ≥3.87. CONCLUSIONS Both lower and higher RvD2 levels are associated with a reduced risk of ASCVD, forming an inverted U-shaped relationship. Furthermore, this association is partially mediated by total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In-stent restenosis (ISR) has been shown to be correlated with inflammation. This study aimed to examine the relationship between systemic immune-inflammation index (SII, an innovative inflammatory biomarker) and ISR in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. METHODS Subjects who were diagnosed with ACS and underwent DES implantation were enrolled retrospectively. All individuals underwent follow-up coronary angiography at six to forty-eight months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). SII was defined as [(platelet count × neutrophil count)/lymphocyte count], and Ln-transformed SII (LnSII) was carried out for our analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the association between LnSII and DES-ISR. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 12 (11, 20) months, 523 ACS patients who underwent follow-up angiography were included. The incidence of DES-ISR was 11.28%, and patients in the higher LnSII tertile trended to show higher likelihoods of ISR (5.7% vs. 12.1% vs. 16.0%; P = 0.009). Moreover, each unit of increased LnSII was correlated with a 69% increased risk of DES-ISR (OR = 1.69, 95% CI 1.04-2.75). After final adjusting for confounders, a significant higher risk of DES-ISR (OR = 2.52, 95% CI 1.23-5.17) was found in participants in tertile 3 (≥ 6.7), compared with those in tertiles 1-2 (< 6.7). Subgroup analysis showed no significant dependence on age, gender, body mass index, current smoking, hypertension, and diabetes for this positive association (all P for interaction > 0.05). CONCLUSION High levels of SII were independently associated with an increased risk of DES-ISR in ACS patients who underwent PCI. Further prospective cohort studies are still needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
Objective Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), a novel inflammatory marker, has been reported to be associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in the U.S., however, such a close relationship with DKD in other countries, including China, has not been never determined. We aimed to explore the association between SII and DKD in Chinese population. Methods A total of 1922 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) included in this cross-sectional study were divided into three groups based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR): non-DKD group, DKD stages 1-2 Alb group, and DKD-non-Alb+DKD stage 3 Alb group. The possible association of SII with DKD was investigated by correlation and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis. Results Moving from the non-DKD group to the DKD-non-Alb+DKD stage 3 Alb group, SII level was gradually increased (P for trend <0.01). Partial correlation analysis revealed that SII was positively associated with urinary ACR and prevalence of DKD, and negatively with eGFR (all P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SII remained independently significantly associated with the presence of DKD after adjustment for all confounding factors [(odds ratio (OR), 2.735; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.840-4.063; P < 0.01)]. Moreover, compared with subjects in the lowest quartile of SII (Q1), the fully adjusted OR for presence of DKD was 1.060 (95% CI 0.773-1.455) in Q2, 1.167 (95% CI 0.995-1.368) in Q3, 1.266 (95% CI 1.129-1.420) in the highest quartile (Q4) (P for trend <0.01). Similar results were observed in presence of DKD stages 1-2 Alb or presence of DKD-non- Alb+DKD stage 3 Alb among SII quartiles. Last, the analysis of ROC curves revealed that the best cutoff values for SII to predict DKD, Alb DKD stages 1- 2, and DKD-non-Alb+ DKD stage 3 Alb were 609.85 (sensitivity: 48.3%; specificity: 72.8%), 601.71 (sensitivity: 43.9%; specificity: 72.3%), and 589.27 (sensitivity: 61.1%; specificity: 71.1%), respectively. Conclusion Higher SII is independently associated with an increased risk of the presence and severity of DKD, and SII might be a promising biomarker for DKD and its distinct phenotypes in Chinese population.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the two blood inflammatory markers including the systemic immune-inflammation (SII) index, and the system inflammation response index (SIRI). Methods The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data between the year of 2017-2018 was used for this cross-sectional study. In order to analyze the association of SII index, and SIRI and risk of NAFLD, we used multivariable logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot, and subgroup analysis to analyze the data. Results In total, there were 1,199 individuals who participated in the survey. As shown by the RCS plot, SII index, and SIRI were linked with NAFLD risk in a U-shaped pattern. With regard to known confounding variables, when comparing the lowest quartile, the odds ratio with 95 % confidence interval for prevalence of NAFLD across the quartiles of SII index and SIRI were (0.89 (0.57, 1.41), 0.56 (0.35, 0.89) and 1.01 (0.64, 1.59)), and (0.77 (0.48, 1.23), 0.79 (0.50, 1.24) and 0.94 (0.60, 1.47)), respectively. Additionally, SII index, and SIRI and NAFLD risk also were U-curve correlated among the participants in age ≥60 years, female, without hypertension, and BMI of ≥30 kg/m2. Conclusions There was a U-shaped association of SII index and SIRI with prevalence of NAFLD, indicating that SII index and SIRI should be monitored dynamically.

Relationship between systemic immune inflammation index and mortality among US adults with different diabetic status: Evidence from NHANES 1999-2018. Exp Gerontol 2024; 185:112350. [PMID: 38128848 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2023.112350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and all-cause or cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) mortality in US adults with different diabetic status based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Adults with follow-up data in the NHANES 1999-2018 cycles were included in this study. The SII was calculated based on blood cells counts (including neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelets) measured in the laboratory data. According to the quartiles of SII, population were divided into four groups (Q1-Q4). Mortality data was determined by linking NHANES survey participants to the National Death Index records, which collect mortality data and determine their vital status. Cox regression models were also performed to explore the hazard ratio (HR) and the corresponding 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) of SII related with all-cause and CVDs mortality. In addition, restricted cubic spline was used to explore the nonlinear relationship between SII and mortality. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to confirm the robustness of our results. RESULTS In this study, there were 45,454 participants were enrolled (50.43 % females), with a mean age of 47.35 ± 0.19 years. Among of which, 7971 were diabetes patients and 3281 were pre-diabetes. With the mean 9.89 ± 0.08 follow-up years, there were 6935 (15.26 %) deaths occurred. Of which, 1795 deaths were caused by CVDs. The age-adjusted death rates were higher in participants with high SII levels compared to those with low SII levels. Cox regression analysis, after adjusting for covariates, revealed that SII levels were associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR, 1.02; 95 % CI, 1.02-1.03, P < 0.0001) and CVDs mortality (HR, 1.05; 95 % CI, 1.02-1.08, P = 0.002) in the fully adjusted Model. Moreover, there was a slight increase in HR values with the progression of diabetes status. Restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated a "U-shaped" relationship between SII and all-cause mortality in diabetic, pre-diabetic and non-diabetic populations (all the P for nonlinear < 0.001). In addition, the relationship between SII and CVDs mortality was also nonlinear in both the pre-diabetic and non-diabetic populations (both P < 0.001). However, there was a linear relationship between SII and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with diabetes (P = 0.528). CONCLUSION The SII is closely associated with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. These associations vary among individuals with different diabetic states. Therefore, monitoring systemic inflammation and SII values is crucial in mitigating the risk of mortality.

J Inflamm Res 2023; 16:4821-4832. [PMID: 37901383 PMCID: PMC10612501 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s433190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and the risk of stroke and its subtypes in elderly patients with hypertension and to explore its predictive accuracy and any potential effect modifiers. Methods The study included 4749 participants with no history of stroke at baseline. Cox regression was used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Interaction tests and subgroup analyses were conducted. The predictive performance of various inflammatory indicators for stroke was compared using the area under the curve (AUC), continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Results During a median follow-up period of 3.2 years, 640 strokes were recorded, of which 526 were ischemic and the remainder hemorrhagic. After adjustment for confounders, compared to the reference group, the HRs (95% CI) of stroke were 1.28 (95% CI, 1.01-1.64) and 1.46 (95% CI, 1.14-1.88) for participants in the second and third tertiles, respectively. We observed interactions between SIRI and homocysteine levels (< 15 vs. ≥ 15 μmol/L) (p for interaction = 0.014) on ischemic stroke risk. Furthermore, the AUC, NRI, and IDI analyses demonstrated that SIRI exhibited better predictive value for stroke risk when compared to other indicators. Similar results were observed for both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Conclusion Elevated SIRI levels were significantly associated with the risk of stroke and its subtypes in elderly patients with hypertension, suggesting its potential as a promising indicator for stroke risk in this population. However, larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

[PMID: 37807904 PMCID: PMC10563607 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2023.2267127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The serum triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a marker of inflammation. However, the relationship between TyG index and peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis (PDRP) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between the baseline TyG index and the initial episode of PDRP. METHODS A total of 208 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients were enrolled from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2019 and followed up until December 31, 2022. They were divided into 2 groups according to the median TyG. The primary outcome was the occurrence of the initial episode of PDRP while on PD therapy. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analyses were used to examine the association between them. RESULTS Eighty-five initial episodes of PDRP were identified. The risk of PDRP was higher in the high-TyG index group (p = 0.030). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed a higher risk of PDRP in patients with a high TyG index (HR = 1.800, 95% CI 1.511-2.815, p = 0.010). CONCLUSION The baseline serum TyG index was an independent risk factor for the initial episode of PDRP in chronic PD patients.

J Multidiscip Healthc 2023; 16:2543-2556. [PMID: 37667797 PMCID: PMC10475282 DOI: 10.2147/jmdh.s423558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In the general population of the United States (U.S.), the relationship between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and mortality (all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related, and cancer-related) is still unclear. Therefore, in this research, we examined the association of DII with mortality caused by all-cause, CVD-related, and cancer-related causes. Methods Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999-2018 was used for exploring the link between DII and all-cause, CVD-related, and cancer-related mortality through the use of Cox proportional hazard models and restricted cubic spline model. In addition, subgroup analyses were further performed. Results The study included 29,013 individuals from the NHANES from 1999 to 2018. The DII scores were nominated as low (T1: -5.281-0.724), medium (T2: 0.725-2.513), and high-grade inflammation (T3: 2.514-5.795), with T1 serving as the reference group. The linear positive correlation between DII and all-cause and CVD-related mortality was studied using Cox regression analysis. In the full-adjusted model, as compared with the individuals with T1 DII scores, adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for all-cause and CVD-related mortality were 1.149 (1.059, 1.247), and 1.186 (1.084, 1.297), as well as 1.197 (1.032, 1.387), and 1.198 (1.019, 1.409), respectively. However, there was no statistical significance between DII and cancer-related mortality. The RCS plot also showed a significant increase in all-cause and CVD-related mortality with increased DII. Nevertheless, as DII scores increased, cancer-related mortality first increased and then decreased. Conclusion All-cause and CVD-related mortality are linked independently to high DII scores, independently. Further study of the association of DII scores with mortality caused by all-cause, CVD-related, and cancer-related causes is necessary to explore.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between systemic immune-inflammation (SII) index with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the general population of the United States (U.S.). Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of subjects in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018. For the analysis of the association between SII index and risk of NAFLD, the restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot, we performed multivariable logistic regression models and subgroup analysis. In addition, generalized additive models with smooth functions were conducted for the relationship between the SII index and the ZJU index, the BARD score, and the NAFLD fibrosis score. Results There were a total of 1197 individuals in our study. Taking into account known confounding variables, compared with the lowest quartiles, the odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for NAFLD across the quartiles were 0.923 (0.585, 1.455), 0.563 (0.351, 0.901), and 1.061 (0.669, 1.682), respectively. As shown by the RCS plot, the SII index was linked with NAFLD risk in a U-shaped pattern. Based on the results of subgroup analysis, SII index and NAFLD risk were U-curve correlated among participants in all age groups, male or female, with or without hypertension, with diabetes mellitus, and with a BMI of <30 or >30 kg/m2. The SII index was linearly positive with the ZJU index but negative with the NAFLD fibrosis score. However, the SII index and BARD score showed a trend of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing. Conclusion The U-shaped relationships exist between SII index and risk of NAFLD, which highlighted that we should focus on the dynamic change of SII index.

J Trace Elem Med Biol 2023; 79:127193. [PMID: 37269648 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2023.127193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between iron metabolism and variations in blood pressure and hypertension risk is still not clear. This study aimed to determine whether iron metabolism is associated with changes in blood pressure and hypertension prevalence in the general United States population. METHODS The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NAHNES) database contains data on 116876 Americans from 1999 to 2020 years. Data from the NHANES database were used to examine the relationships between iron metabolism (serum iron [SI], serum ferritin [SF], and soluble transferrin receptor [sTfR]) and changes in blood pressure and hypertension prevalence. Generalized linear models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot curves were used to estimate the relationship between iron metabolism and hypertension. Further, generalized additive models with smooth functions were used to identify the relationship between iron metabolism and blood pressure. Finally, a stratified subgroup analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 6710 participants were included in our analysis. The RCS plot showed a linear relationship between SI, as well as sTfR, and hypertension prevalence. SF and hypertension prevalence were associated in a J-shape. In addition, the relationship between SI and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased initially and then increased. A correlation between SF, SBP, and DBP first decreased, then increased, and finally decreased. A positive linear correlation existed between sTfR and SBP, but it increased and then decreased with DBP. CONCLUSION The correlation between SF and hypertension prevalence displayed a J-curve. In contrast, the correlation between SI, as well as sTfR, and hypertension risk was negative and positive, respectively.
