Inflammatory indexes and anemia in chronic kidney disease: correlation and survival analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2018. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2399314. [PMID: 39248404 PMCID: PMC11385632 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2399314] [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] [Revised: 08/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is currently no research on the correlation between novel inflammatory indexes systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and the risk of anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) population, as well as survival analysis in CKD with anemia. METHODS This investigation encompassed 4444 adult subjects out of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2018. The study utilized multi-variable logistic regression to assess the relationship between SII, NLR, PLR, and anemia risk occurrence in CKD population. Survival differences in CKD patients with anemia, based on varying levels of SII, NLR, and PLR were evaluated employing Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS The adjusted logistic regression model demonstrates that SII, NLR, and PLR are associated with the risk of anemia occurrence in CKD population. Kaplan-Meier's analysis reveals significant differences in survival rates among CKD patients with anemia stratified by NLR levels. The adjusted Cox proportional hazards model shows that the higher NLR group has a 30% elevated risk of all-cause mortality contrasted with lower group (hazard ratio, HR: 1.30, confidence interval (CI) [1.01, 1.66], p value <.04). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) demonstrates no nonlinear relationship between NLR and all-cause mortality. Lastly, sub-cohort analysis indicates that in populations with diabetes, hypertension, and hyperuricemia, NLR levels have a greater impact on all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS Controlling inflammation may reduce the occurrence of anemia in CKD populations, with NLR serving to be a potential prognostic indicator for survival results within CKD patients suffering from co-morbid anemia.

Unraveling the role of BMI and blood markers in the relationship between plant-based diets and osteoporosis: A prospective cohort study. Prev Med 2024; 187:108103. [PMID: 39151805 DOI: 10.1016/j.ypmed.2024.108103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential adverse effects of plant-based diets on bone health have raised significant concern, while the prospective evidence is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association between plant-based diet indexes and incident osteoporosis while exploring the underlying mechanisms involved in this relationship. METHODS The analysis included 202,063 UK Biobank participants conducted between 2006 and 2022. Plant-based diet indexes (hPDI and uPDI) were calculated using the 24-h dietary questionnaire. Cox proportional risk regression and mediation analysis were used to explore the associations of plant-based diet indexes with osteoporosis, estimating the contribution of BMI and blood markers. RESULTS We found the highest quintile for hPDI (HR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.28) and uPDI (HR = 1.15; 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.26) were associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. BMI was identified as an important mediator in the association between hPDI and osteoporosis, with mediation proportions of 46.17%. For blood markers, the mediating (suppressing) effects of C-reactive protein, alkaline phosphatase, and insulin-like growth factor-1 on the association between uPDI (hPDI) and osteoporosis were significant, ranging from 5.63%-16.87% (4.57%-6.22%). CONCLUSION Adherence to a plant-based diet is associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis, with BMI and blood markers potentially contributing to this relationship. Notably, even a healthy plant-based diet necessitates attention to weight management to mitigate its impact on bone loss. These findings emphasize the importance of personalized dietary recommendations and lifestyle interventions to decrease the risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background While several studies have noted a higher SII correlates with multiple diseases, research on the association between SII and atopic dermatitis remains limited. Our cross-sectional study seeks to examine the association between SII and atopic dermatitis among outpatient US adults. Methods This compensatory cross-sectional study utilized NHANES data from 2001-2006 cycles, conducting sample-weighted multivariate logistic regression and stratified analysis of sub-groups. Results Higher levels of SII were positively associated with an increased risk of atopic dermatitis in adults with BMI <30 (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.10-1.90) (p = 0.010). Conclusion Our findings suggested SII higher than 330 × 109/L was positively associated with a high risk of atopic dermatitis in US adults with BMI <30. To our knowledge, this is the first study focused on the risk of higher SII on atopic dermatitis in the outpatient US population. Currently, there are differences in the standards used to diagnose atopic dermatitis across countries, and our study may have implications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the association between systemic inflammation, measured by the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), and menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 702 postmenopausal women recruited from a tertiary hospital. Participants completed the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) to assess somatic, psychological, and urogenital symptoms. Blood samples were collected to calculate SII. Statistical analyses included correlation, univariate regression, and multivariate regression to determine the association between SII and menopausal symptoms. RESULTS The most commonly reported symptoms were muscle and joint problems (75.9%), hot flashes and sweating (72.5%), sleeping problems (71.2%), and depressive mood (69.9%). Women with higher total and somatic subscale scores had significantly elevated SII levels compared with those with lower scores. SII was the most associated variable for high total MRS (odds ratio, 4.77; 95% CI, 3.36-6.78; P < 0.001) and somatic subscale scores (odds ratio, 6.32; 95% CI, 4.45-8.99; P < 0.001). Exercise and gravidity were negatively associated with high total MRS and somatic subscale scores. Conversely, no significant associations were observed between SII and the urogenital or psychological subscale scores. CONCLUSION Elevated SII levels were found associated with higher somatic subscale and total MRS scores, suggesting that inflammation may contribute to worsened somatic menopausal symptoms in this group. These findings suggest that exploring inflammatory pathways could be beneficial in managing menopausal symptoms and enhancing quality of life for postmenopausal women.

Inflammatory biomarkers mediate the association between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure and dyslipidemia: A national population-based study. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142626. [PMID: 38908446 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Exploring the association between exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the risk of dyslipidemia and possible mediating effects is essential for conducting epidemiological health studies on related lipid disorders. Therefore, our study aimed to elucidate the potential association between PAH exposure and dyslipidemia risk and further identify the mediating effects based on blood cell-based inflammatory biomarkers. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 8380 individuals with complete survey data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001-2016). Multiple models (generalized linear regression model, restricted cubic spline model, Bayesian kernel machine regression, weighted quantiles sum regression) were used to assess the relationship between PAH co-exposure and the dyslipidemia risk and further identify potential mediating effects. Among the 8380 subjects, 2886 (34.44 %) had dyslipidemia. After adjusting for the confounding factors, the adjusted OR and 95% CI for dyslipidemia in the highest quartile of subjects were 1.30 (1.11, 1.51), 1. 22 (1.04, 1.43), 1.21 (1.03, 1.42), 1.29 (1.10, 1.52), 1.18 (1.01, 1.37), and 1.04 (0.89, 1.23) for 1-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-hydroxynaphthalene, 3-hydroxyfluorene, 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-FLU), 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, and 1-hydroxypyrene. The Bayesian kernel machine regression model also showed a positive correlation between PAH mixtures and dyslipidemia, and 2-FLU has the highest contribution. Mediation effect analyses showed that white blood cells and neutrophils were statistically significant in the association between PAHs and dyslipidemia. The present study suggests that individual and mixed PAH exposures may increase the risk of dyslipidemia in adults. Inflammatory biomarkers significantly mediated the relationship between PAH exposure and dyslipidemia. Environmental pollutants and their mechanisms should be more intensively monitored and studied.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the correlation between changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women and circulating inflammatory markers. METHODS This retrospective study focused on postmenopausal women admitted to the orthopedic department of Suzhou Benq Medical Center from June 2022 to December 2023, following predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. We retrospectively collected data on initial blood routine test results and bone density measurements for all study subjects upon admission, including parameters such as white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and procalcitonin (PCT). Additionally, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was calculated using neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and platelet count. Statistical analyses using SPSS and GraphPad software were performed to assess the correlation between bone density and inflammatory markers. RESULTS Patients were classified into three groups based on BMD results, including 60 individuals in the osteoporosis (OP) group, 127 individuals in the osteopenia group, and 37 individuals in the Normal group, respectively. Principal component analysis analysis suggested that WBC, SII, and postmenopausal OP (PMOP) held significant feature values. Correlation analysis indicated a correlation between WBC (p = 0.021), IL-6 (p = 0.044), SII (p = 0.034), and PMOP. One-way ANOVA analysis revealed significant differences in IL-6 (p = 0.0179), SII (p = 0.0210), and PCT (p = 0.0200) among the three groups. Finally, ROC curve analysis demonstrated that SII (area under the curve = 0.716) has predictive value for PMOP. CONCLUSION This study identified a certain predictive value for PMOP through the assessment of inflammatory markers in peripheral blood using routine blood tests.

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.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of different chronic diseases with immunonutritional markers in the senior population. METHODS this study included 1190 hospitalized geriatric patients. The criteria to participate were ability to communicate, given consent and C-reactive protein (CRP) lower than 6 mg/dL. RESULTS the mean age of the study population was 81.7 ± 7.6 years. NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio), LMR (lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio), MWR (monocyte-to-white blood cell ratio), SII (systemic immune-inflammation index), PNI (prognostic nutritional index) and CAR (C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio) were related to age. NLR and MWR were higher, while LMR, PLR (platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and SII were lower in men. All markers were related to BMI. NLR, LMR, LCR (lymphocyte-to-CRP ratio), MWR, PNI and CAR were related to several concomitant chronic diseases. In multivariate analyses, age and BMI were selected as independent predictors of all studied immunonutritional markers. Atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus and dementia appear most often in the models. PNI presented the most consistent statistical association with age, BMI and concomitant chronic diseases. CONCLUSIONS this study reveals the pivotal role of aging and BMI in inflammatory marker levels and the association of immunonutritional markers with different chronic diseases. Atrial fibrillation seems to have the most dominant connection to the immunonutritional markers.

Abstract
The negative effects of obesity and excess body fat on bone mineral density (BMD) have been widely reported. As opposed to waist circumference (WC) or body mass index (BMI), weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a superior method for assessing obesity. WWI also indicates centripetal obesity independently of the weight of the individual. An investigation of WWI and adolescents' BMD was conducted in this study. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 provided the data for this cross-sectional investigation. In this study, weighted multivariate logit models were employed to assess the correlation between teenage BMD and WWI. Additionally, we conducted interaction tests and subgroup analysis. Through multivariate linear regression, we discovered that WWI was negatively linked with lumbar, trunk, and total BMD but not pelvis BMD in this study, which included 6828 subjects. We found that each unit increase in WWI resulted in a lumbar BMD decline of 0.04 g/cm2 (95%CI -0.04, -0.04), a trunk BMD decrease of 0.03 g/cm2 (95%CI -0.03, -0.02), and a total BMD decrease of 0.02 g/cm2 (95%CI -0.02, -0.02). In conclusion, in US teenagers, there were negative connections discovered between WWI and lumbar, trunk, and total BMD, but not pelvis BMD.

Smoking increases risk of complication after musculoskeletal surgery: analysis of single immune parameter to predict complication risk. EXCLI JOURNAL 2024; 23:967-990. [PMID: 39253528 PMCID: PMC11382255 DOI: 10.17179/excli2024-7306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024]
Abstract
Smoking is the most significant and modifiable risk factor for a range of conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Furthermore, it significantly reduces bone mass and increases the risk of fragility fractures due to its detrimental effects on bone metabolism and regeneration. Moreover, smoking is a known cause of chronic systemic inflammation, leading to an imbalance of cytokines. Comprehending the pathological mechanisms that underlie cytokine production and its impact on post-surgical healing is essential to prevent post-surgical complications. The present study recruited a total of 1144 patients, including 897 patients, among them non-smokers (N = 413), current smokers (N = 201) and ex-smokers (N = 283). Human proteome profiler arrays were used to screen for smoking-dependent differences in the serum cytokine and protein profiles, after matching samples for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), alcohol use, and diabetes risk. Cytokines and immune checkpoint proteins such as CD28, B7-1, MIG, TGFβ2 and IL-1α/β were quantified by ELISA. Our study demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between smoking, the development of complications, the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and cytokine/protein levels. We found that a comparison of non-smokers, former smokers, and active smokers in our study cohort did not exhibit significantly altered cytokine and protein serum levels although other studies reported differences between smokers and non-smokers. We were unable to identify single blood circulating markers that could predict complications in smokers after trauma. However, we found the ratio of women to men to be inverted between non-smokers and active smokers resulting in a ratio of 0.62 in smokers. Furthermore, we demonstrate a higher complication rate, longer hospitalizations and elevated SII values among smokers, indicating an involvement of the immune system.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:3969. [PMID: 38999533 PMCID: PMC11242639 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133969] [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: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives: This study, based on the concept of immuno-inflammatory-metabolic (IIM) dysregulation, investigated and compared the prognostic impact of 27 indices at admission for prediction of postoperative myocardial injury (PMI) and/or hospital death in hip fracture (HF) patients. Methods: In consecutive HF patient (n = 1273, mean age 82.9 ± 8.7 years, 73.5% females) demographics, medical history, laboratory parameters, and outcomes were recorded prospectively. Multiple logistic regression and receiver-operating characteristic analyses (the area under the curve, AUC) were used to establish the predictive role for each biomarker. Results: Among 27 IIM biomarkers, 10 indices were significantly associated with development of PMI and 16 were indicative of a fatal outcome; in the subset of patients aged >80 years with ischaemic heart disease (IHD, the highest risk group: 90.2% of all deaths), the corresponding figures were 26 and 20. In the latter group, the five strongest preoperative predictors for PMI were anaemia (AUC 0.7879), monocyte/eosinophil ratio > 13.0 (AUC 0.7814), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio > 7.5 (AUC 0.7784), eosinophil count < 1.1 × 109/L (AUC 0.7780), and neutrophil/albumin × 10 > 2.4 (AUC 0.7732); additionally, sensitivity was 83.1-75.4% and specificity was 82.1-75.0%. The highest predictors of in-hospital death were platelet/lymphocyte ratio > 280.0 (AUC 0.8390), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio < 1.1 (AUC 0.8375), albumin < 33 g/L (AUC 0.7889), red cell distribution width > 14.5% (AUC 0.7739), and anaemia (AUC 0.7604), sensitivity 88.2% and above, and specificity 85.1-79.3%. Internal validation confirmed the predictive value of the models. Conclusions: Comparison of 27 IIM indices in HF patients identified several simple, widely available, and inexpensive parameters highly predictive for PMI and/or in-hospital death. The applicability of IIM biomarkers to diagnose and predict risks for chronic diseases, including OP/OF, in the preclinical stages is discussed.

Yin X, Zhang Y, Zou J, Yang J. Association of the systemic immune-inflammation index with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:15129. [PMID: 38956376 PMCID: PMC11219888 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-66152-4] [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: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), a metric reflecting systemic inflammatory response and immune activation, remains underexplored concerning its correlation with mortality among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. This study aimed to delineate the association between SII and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality within the cohort of American adults diagnosed with RA, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 1999 to 2018. The investigation extracted data from NHANES cycles between 1999 and 2018, identifying RA patients through questionnaire responses. The SII was computed based on complete blood counts, employing the formula: (platelets × neutrophils) / lymphocytes. The optimal SII cutoff value for significant survival outcomes was determined using maximally selected rank statistics. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models assessed the relationship between SII levels and mortality (all-cause and cardiovascular) among RA patients, with subgroup analyses examining potential modifications by clinical confounders. Additionally, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were conducted to explore the linearity of the SII-mortality association. The study encompassed 2070 American adults with RA, among whom 287 exhibited a higher SII (≥ 919.75) and 1783 a lower SII (< 919.75). Over a median follow-up duration of 108 months, 602 participants died. After adjustments for demographic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle variables, a higher SII was associated with a 1.48-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21-1.81, P < 0.001) and a 1.51-fold increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.04-2.18, P = 0.030) compared to a lower SII. Kaplan-Meier analyses corroborated significantly reduced survival rates within the higher SII cohort for both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (Pall-cause mortality < 0.0001 and Pcardiovascular mortality = 0.0004). RCS analyses confirmed a positive nonlinear relationship between SII and mortality rates. In conclusion, the SII offers a straightforward indicator of the equilibrium between detrimental innate inflammation and beneficial adaptive immunity. Our investigation, utilizing a comprehensive and nationally representative sample, reveals that elevated SII levels independently forecast a greater risk of mortality from all causes, as well as cardiovascular-specific mortality, in individuals suffering from RA. These insights underscore the clinical relevance of the SII as an affordable and readily accessible biomarker. Its incorporation into regular clinical practice could significantly enhance the precision of risk assessment and forecasting for patients with RA, facilitating more tailored and effective management strategies. Specifically, patients with high SII levels could be identified for more stringent cardiovascular risk management, including closer monitoring, lifestyle interventions, and aggressive pharmacological treatments to mitigate their increased risk of mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis and major depressive disorder (MDD) represent two significant health challenges globally, particularly among perimenopausal women. This study utilizes NHANES data and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the link between them, aiming to provide a basis for intervention strategies for this group. METHODS The study analyzed NHANES 2007-2018 data using weighted logistic regression in R software to evaluate the link between MDD and osteoporosis risk. Then, a two-sample MR analysis with GWAS summary statistics was performed, mainly using the IVW method. Additional validation included MR Egger, Weighted Median, Mode, and MR-PRESSO methods. RESULTS The research analysis indicated a significant link between MDD and the risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis. Our analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between MDD and both femoral neck osteoporosis (OR = 6.942 [95 % CI, 1.692-28.485]) and trochanteric osteoporosis (OR = 4.140 [95 % CI, 1.699-10.089]). In analyses related to osteopenia, a significant positive correlation was observed between MDD and both total femoral osteopenia (OR = 3.309 [95 % CI, 1.577-6.942]) and trochanteric osteopenia (OR = 2.467 [95 % CI, 1.004-6.062]). Furthermore, in the MR analysis, genetically predicted MDD was causally associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis via the IVW method (P = 0.013). LIMITATIONS Our study was limited by potential selection bias due to excluding subjects with missing data, and its applicability was primarily to European and American populations. CONCLUSION Integrating NHANES and MR analyses, a robust correlation between MDD and osteoporosis was identified, emphasizing the significance of addressing this comorbidity within clinical practice and meriting further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECT The association between magnesium depletion score (MDS) and kidney stone disease (KSD) remains unknown. This study was designed to investigate the association of MDS with KSD in adults. METHODS A total of 19,654 participants were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). The MDS was calculated by assessing four aspects, including alcohol assumption, renal function, and use of diuretics and proton pump inhibitor. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to explore the associations between MDS and the prevalence of KSD. Linear correlations were conducted explore the relationship of testosterone with MDS. RESULTS In the multivariable logistic regressions with full adjustment for confounding variables, the odds ratio of MDS associating with KSD was 1.28 (95% CI: 1.04-1.58, P = 0.022) in total population, and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.16-2.50, P=0.007) in female participants. Besides, compared to the lowest MDS, the highest MDS was associated with a lower testosterone (β = -16.39, P=0.009) after full adjustment in non-menopause women. CONCLUSION This study highlighted a positive correlation of high MDS with KSD in female population, which may be associated low level of serum testosterone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and shoulder hemiarthroplasty (HA) have both been shown to have good outcomes in patients with osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint. However, evidence comparing perioperative complications between these procedures in this population is heterogeneous. MATERIALS AND METHODS The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried between the years 2012 and 2021 (10 years in total) for records of patients who underwent either TSA or HA for osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint. Patients in each group underwent a 1:1 propensity match for demographic variables. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to compare complications and risk factors between these cohorts. RESULTS A total of 4376 propensity-matched patients, with 2188 receiving TSA and 2188 receiving HA, were included in the primary analyses. The HA cohort had a higher rate of any adverse event (7.18% vs 4.8%, P=.001), death (0.69% vs 0.1%, P=.004), sepsis (0.46% vs 0.1%, P=.043), postoperative transfusion (4.62% vs 2.2%, P<.001), postoperative intubation (0.5% vs 0.1%, P=.026), and extended length of stay (23.77% vs 13.1%, P<.001). HA was found to increase the odds of developing these complications when baseline demographics were controlled. Older age (odds ratio, 1.040; 95% CI, 1.021-1.059; P<.001) and lower body mass index (odds ratio, 0.949; 95% CI, 0.923-0.975; P<.001) increased the odds of having any adverse event in the HA cohort but not in the TSA cohort. CONCLUSION Compared with TSA, HA appears to be associated with significantly higher rates of 30-day postoperative complications when performed for glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

J Orthop Sci 2024; 29:1060-1063. [PMID: 37532650 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2023.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
AIM The systemic immune inflammation index (SII) is a cost-effective biomarker calculated by lymphocyte, neutrophil and platelet counts and is currently being studied in various diseases. Since there is no study examining the relationship between SII and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) in the literature, our aim was to investigate the relationship between SII and amputation rate in DFU. METHODS Type 2 DM 511 patients with DFU were screened from 2017 to 2021. Laboratory data obtained on the first day of hospitalization were considered. Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and SII were calculated from routine blood count. Participants were divided into two groups as amputation (Group 1) and non-amputation (Group 2). RESULTS Amputation rate was 18.8%. The A1c (8.80 (3.26) % vs. 9.52 (3.10) %, p = 0.007) and HGB (10.17 ± 2.16 g/dL vs. 12.05 ± 2.20 g/dL, p < 0.001) levels, and lymphocyte count (1.81 (1.16) vs. 2.05 (1.11), p = 0.015) were significantly lower in Group 1 than Group 2. The counts of WBC (14.01 (9.16) × 109/L vs. 10.41 (5.82) × 109/L), PLT (393.35 (196.98) × 109/L vs. 312.05 (141.33) × 109/L), neutrophil (11.52 (8.75) × 109/L vs. 6.93 (5.96) × 109/L), PLR (226.04 (159.24) × 109/L vs. 153.12 (101.91) × 109/L), NLR (6.64 (6.93) vs. 3.34 (3.99)) and SII (2505.86 (3957.47) × 109/L vs. 1092.50 (1476.08) × 109/L), and the levels of CRP (14.12 (12.66) mg/dL vs. 3.86 (12.63) mg/dL) and ESR (87.50 (50.50) mm/h vs. 63.00 (57.25) mm/h) were significantly higher in Group 1 than Group 2 (all p < 0.001). AUC of ROC analysis of PLR was 0.666 (95% CI, 0.604-0.728), NLR was 0.695 (95% CI, 0.638-0.752) and SII was 0.716 (95% CI, 0.661-0.772) for the predicting of amputation and the SII had the best AUC with 67.4% sensitivity and 63.3%specificty. CONCLUSION SII is a cost-effective and readily available marker, but alone may not be sufficient to predict the risk of amputation in DFU. In our results, the predictive role of SII alone or with other markers for future DFU and its role in predicting other chronic diabetic complications will be evaluated in extensive studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to further evaluate the potential value of Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) as a prognostic marker in patients with laryngeal and pharyngeal tumors. METHODS A total of 545 patients with laryngeal and pharyngeal tumors who underwent surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University were included. We determined the optimal cutoff of PIV and divided the patients into two groups. The relationship between PIV and clinicopathological features was explored by the chi-square test and the Mann-Whitney U test. Survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate the relationship between PIV and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). We also compared the prognostic predictive value of PIV with other inflammation-related markers. Finally, we developed a simple scoring prediction model based on several independent prognostic parameters. RESULTS We found that PIV was statistically associated with clinicopathological features such as tumor stage (p < 0.001), node stage (p = 0.001), postoperative chemotherapy (p = 0.026), and vascular thrombosis (p = 0.027). Survival analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between elevated PIV and reduced OS and DFS (p < 0.0001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis further confirmed PIV as a prognostic indicator (HR 2.507; 95% CI 1.343-4.681; p = 0.004), which is superior to SII, NLR, MLR and PLR. Three of the independent prognostic factors screened by multivariate Cox regression analysis were selected to be used to create a scoring system with a concordance index of 0.756. CONCLUSIONS Elevated PIV is associated with poor prognosis in patients with laryngeal and pharyngeal tumors, suggesting that PIV may be an important adjunctive indicator for assessing patient prognosis.

Abstract
The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), an integrated and ground-breaking inflammatory measure, has been widely used in various fields. We aimed to assess the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and α-Klotho (a new anti-aging biomarker). In this cross-sectional investigation, people with complete information on SII and α-Klotho from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2007 and 2016 were the study's subject population. SII was calculated by platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count. The association between SII and α-Klotho was investigated using multivariable linear regression and a generalized additive model. In order to explore the non-linear connection, we employed smoothed curve fitting. Subgroup analysis were also performed. A total of 13,701 participants with an average age of 57.73 ± 10.86 years were enrolled, of whom 51.53% were female. After fully adjustment, SII was negatively associated with serum soluble α-Klotho [β(95% CI) = - 0.07 (- 0.08, - 0.05)]. Furthermore, we found L-shaped association between SII and klotho protein level, with the inflection point at 255 pg/ml. Subgroup analysis and interaction test revealed that there was no discernible dependence on gender, age, race, smoking, alcohol, diabetes and hypertension (all p for interaction > 0.05). SII level was negatively associated with serum klotho protein concentration in American adults. To verify our findings, more large-scale prospective investigations are still required.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a chronic dermatological condition characterized by a complex pathogenesis that impacts approximately 3% of adults in the United States and brings enormous social burdens. For many diseases, the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), defined as neutrophils × platelets/lymphocytes, has been recognized as a prognostic indicator. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the association between SII and psoriasis among outpatient US adults. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we used data on the US adults 20 to 59 years of age from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2003-2006 and 2009-2014. Sample-weighted logistic regression and stratified analysis of subgroups were used. Results Among the 16,831 adults, there were 8,801 women and 8,030 men, with a psoriasis prevalence rate of 3.0%. A fully adjusted model revealed a positive association between a SII higher than 479.15 × 109/L and a high risk of psoriasis. According to subgroup analysis and interaction testing (p for interaction > 0.05), age, sex, alcohol drinking status, marital status, and body mass index (BMI) were not significantly correlated with this positive association. Conclusion Our findings suggested that SII higher than 479.15 × 109/L was positively associated with a high risk of psoriasis among outpatient US adults. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cross-sectional study using NHANES data focused on the risk of higher SII on psoriasis among outpatient US adults. The outcomes of this cross-sectional serve to supplement previous research, indicating a need for larger-scale prospective cohorts for further validation.

Constructing and validating a predictive nomogram for osteoporosis risk among Chinese single-center male population using the systemic immune-inflammation index. Sci Rep 2024; 14:12637. [PMID: 38825605 PMCID: PMC11144694 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63193-7] [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: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a bone metabolism disease that is associated with inflammatory pathological mechanism. Nonetheless, rare studies have investigated the diagnostic effectiveness of immune-inflammation index in the male population. Therefore, it is interesting to achieve early diagnosis of OP in male population based on the inflammatory makers from blood routine examination. We developed a prediction model based on a training dataset of 826 Chinese male patients through a retrospective study, and the data was collected from January 2022 to May 2023. All participants underwent the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXEA) and blood routine examination. Inflammatory markers such as systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was calculated and recorded. We utilized the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model to optimize feature selection. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to construct a predicting model incorporating the feature selected in the LASSO model. This predictive model was displayed as a nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, C-index, calibration curve, and clinical decision curve analysis (DCA) to evaluate model performance. Internal validation was test by the bootstrapping method. This study was approved by the Ethic Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Ethic No. JY2023012) and conducted in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. The predictive factors included in the prediction model were age, BMI, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, neuropathy, thyroid diseases, fracture history, SII, PLR, C-reactive protein (CRP). The model displayed well discrimination with a C-index of 0.822 (95% confidence interval: 0.798-0.846) and good calibration. Internal validation showed a high C-index value of 0.805. Decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that when the threshold probability was between 3 and 76%, the nomogram had a good clinical value. This nomogram can effectively predict the incidence of OP in male population based on SII and PLR, which would help clinicians rapidly and conveniently diagnose OP with men in the future.

Abstract
Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with varied clinical manifestations affecting multiple organ systems. This study aimed to investigate the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and disease activity, as well as proteinuria levels in patients with SLE. Methodology A total of 141 patients diagnosed with SLE and 99 control subjects were included in this retrospective study. SLE patients were divided into two groups based on the presence (52) or absence (89) of proteinuria. Demographic data, laboratory parameters, and disease activity scores were recorded. SII was calculated based on peripheral blood counts. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationship between SII levels and disease activity, as well as proteinuria. Results The statistical analysis among the three groups revealed that SII was significantly different in all three groups (p < 0.001). Moreover, within the SLE cohort, patients with proteinuria had significantly higher SII levels compared to those without proteinuria (p = 0.012). Correlation analysis revealed a positive association between SII and both proteinuria and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (r = 0.215; p = 0.011 and r = 0.186; p = 0.028, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that SII had potential clinical value in diagnosing SLE and predicting proteinuria development. Conclusions The findings of this study suggest that SII may serve as a useful biomarker for assessing disease activity and predicting proteinuria development in patients with SLE. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore the utility of SII in clinical practice for monitoring disease progression and treatment response in SLE.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2024; 15:897-906. [PMID: 38468152 PMCID: PMC11154788 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13447] [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: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation and frailty have been implicated in osteoporosis (OP) and fracture risks; however, existing evidence remains limited and inconclusive. This study aimed to assess the associations of systemic inflammation and frailty phenotype with incident OP and fracture and to evaluate the mediating role of frailty phenotype. METHODS The present study analysed data from the UK Biobank, a comprehensive and representative dataset encompassing over 500 000 individuals from the general population. Baseline peripheral blood cell counts were employed to calculate the systemic inflammation markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). Frailty phenotype was assessed using five criteria, defined as frail (≥3 items met), pre-frail (1-2 items met) and non-frail (0 items met). OP and fracture events were confirmed through participants' health-related records. Multivariable linear and Cox regression models were utilized, along with mediation analysis. RESULTS Increased systemic inflammation was associated with increased risks of OP and fracture. The corresponding hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for OP risk per standard deviation increase in the log-transformed NLR, PLR and SII were 1.113 (1.093-1.132), 1.098 (1.079-1.118) and 1.092 (1.073-1.111), and for fracture risk, they were 1.066 (1.051-1.082), 1.059 (1.044-1.075) and 1.073 (1.058-1.089), respectively. Compared with the non-frail individuals, the pre-frail and frail ones showed an elevated OP risk by 21.2% (95% CI: 16.5-26.2%) and 111.0% (95% CI: 98.1-124.8%), respectively, and an elevated fracture risk by 6.1% (95% CI: 2.8-9.5%) and 38.2% (95% CI: 30.7-46.2%), respectively. The systemic inflammation level demonstrated a positive association with frailty, with β (95% CI) of 0.034 (0.031-0.037), 0.026 (0.023-0.029) and 0.008 (0.005-0.011) in response to per standard deviation increment in log-transformed SII, NLR and PLR, respectively. The frailty phenotype mediated the association between systemic inflammation and OP/fracture risk. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings. CONCLUSIONS Systemic inflammation and frailty phenotype are independently linked to increased risks of OP and fracture. The frailty phenotype partially mediates the association between systemic inflammation and osteoporotic traits. These results highlight the significance of interventions targeting systemic inflammation and frailty in OP and fracture prevention and management.

Abstract
Sexual dysfunction, particularly in females, is a complex issue influenced by various factors, including depression and inflammation. The Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), an inflammatory biomarker, has shown associations with different health conditions, but its relationship with female sexual dysfunction (FSD) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between SII and FSD in the context of depression, utilizing low sexual frequency as an assessment indicator. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005 to 2016, involving 1042 depressed female participants, were analyzed. FSD, indicated by low sexual frequency, and SII, derived from complete blood count results, were assessed. Logistic regression and subgroup analyses were conducted, considering demographic and health-related factors. A total of 1042 individuals were included in our analysis; 11.5163% of participants were categorized as having FSD, which decreased with the higher SII tertiles (tertile 1, 13.8329%; tertile 2, 13.5447%; tertile 3, 7.1839%; p for trend < 0.0001). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed a significant negative association between SII and FSD [0.9993 (0.9987, 0.9999)]. This negative association in a subgroup analysis is distinctly and significantly present in the Mexican American subgroup [0.9959 (0.9923, 0.9996)], while it does not reach statistical significance in other racial categories. Furthermore, the association between SII and FSD was nonlinear; using a 2-segment linear regression model, we found a U-shaped relationship between SII and FSD with an inflection point of 2100 (1000 cells/µL). In summary, in depressed individuals, a higher SII is independently associated with a decreased likelihood of FSD, emphasizing the potential role of inflammation in female sexual health.

Prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index in critically ill elderly patients with hip fracture: evidence from MIMIC (2008-2019). Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1408371. [PMID: 38873200 PMCID: PMC11169710 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1408371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) showed an extensive link between immunological dysfunction and the activation of systemic inflammation. Several studies have confirmed the application of SII to orthopedic diseases. However, the significance of SII in critically ill elderly individuals with hip fracture who require intensive care unit (ICU) admission is not yet known. This study centered on exploring the relationship between SII and clinical outcomes among critically ill elderly hip fracture individuals. Methods The study centered around elderly patients experiencing severe illness following hip fractures and requiring admission to the ICU. These patients from the MIMIC-IV database formed the basis of this study's cohort. We stratified them into quartiles according to their SII levels. The results involved the mortality at 30 days and 1 year post-admission. Then we employ Cox proportional hazards regression analysis as well as restricted cubic splines to explore the association between the SII and clinical results in critically ill elderly patients with hip fracture. Results The study encompassed 991 participants, among whom 63.98% identified as females. Notably, the mortality rates attributed to any cause within 30 days and 1 year after hospitalization stood at 19.68 and 33.40%, respectively. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model disclosed a significant correlation between an elevated SII and all-cause mortality. Following adjustments for confounding variables, individuals with a high SII showed a notable correlation with 30-day mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 1.065; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.044-1.087; p < 0.001] and 1-year mortality (adjusted HR, 1.051; 95% CI, 1.029-1.074; p < 0.001). Furthermore, the analysis of restricted cubic splines demonstrated a progressive increase in the risk of all-cause death as the SII value rose. Conclusion Among critically ill elderly patients with hip fracture, the SII exhibits a non-linear association that positively correlates with both 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality rates. The revelation indicates that the SII may play a vital role in identifying patients with hip fractures who face an escalated risk of mortality due to any cause.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used throughout the world as an effective gastrointestinal drug. Nevertheless, according to the existing literature, PPIs can reduce the excretion of magnesium, calcium and other components in urine, which may promote the formation of kidney stones. We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database to further investigate the association between the use of PPIs and the prevalence of kidney stones. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from 2007 to 2018 NHANES. PPIs use information of 29,910 participants was obtained by using prescription medications in the preceding month, and kidney stones were presented by a standard questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis and stratified analysis were used to estimate the association between PPIs use and kidney stones after an adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS The multiple logistic regression indicated that the PPIs exposure group (P1) had a significantly higher risk of nephrolithiasis than the PPIs non-exposure group (P0) in Model 3 (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.10-1.39, P < 0.001). The stratified analyses indicated there were significant statistical differences between PPIs use and kidney stones among females (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.15-1.62, P < 0.001), non-Hispanic whites (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.48, P = 0.002), individuals with an education level than 11th grade (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.13-1.76, P = 0.002) and individuals with an annual family income of $0 to $19,999 (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.06-1.65, P = 0.014) and $20,000 to $44,999 (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.02-1.54, P = 0.033) in Model 3. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that PPIs use is associated with a higher prevalence of kidney stones for the US population, primarily among women, non-Hispanic whites, individuals with low education levels and individuals with low household income levels. Further studies are required to confirm our findings.

Association of systemic inflammatory response index with bone mineral density, osteoporosis, and future fracture risk in elderly hypertensive patients. Postgrad Med 2024; 136:406-416. [PMID: 38753519 DOI: 10.1080/00325481.2024.2354158] [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: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the relationship between the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, and future fracture risk in elderly hypertensive patients. METHODS Elderly hypertensive patients (age ≥60 years) who attended our hospital between January 2021 and December 2023 and completed BMD screening were included in the study. Analyses were performed with multivariate logistic and linear regression. RESULTS The multiple linear regression indicated that SIRI levels were significantly negatively correlated with lumbar 1 BMD (β = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.24, -0.05), lumbar 2 BMD (β = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.24, -0.05), lumbar 3 BMD (β = -1.35, 95% CI: -0.23, -0.02), lumbar 4 BMD (β = -0.11, 95% CI: -0.30, -0.10), femur neck BMD (β = -0.11, 95% CI: -0.18, -0.05) and Ward's triangle BMD (β = -0.12, 95% CI: -0.20, -0.05) among elderly hypertensive patients, after fully adjusting for confounders. Furthermore, we observed that SIRI was positively associated with future fracture risk in elderly hypertensive patients. Specifically, SIRI was associated with an increased risk of major osteoporotic fractures (β = 0.33) and hip fractures (β = 0.25). The logistic regression analysis indicated that there is an association between the SIRI level and an increased risk of osteoporosis (OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.37, 1.87), after fully adjusting for confounders. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate a potential association between SIRI and BMD, osteoporosis, and the risk of future fractures in elderly hypertensive patients. However, further studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are the leading causes of death among the elderly. Recent research has demonstrated that mitochondrial dysfunction, which is hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, is a contributor to the development of these diseases. Methods and materials Methylmalonic acid (MMA), AD, PD, inflammatory markers and covariates were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The classification of the inflammatory markers was done through quartile conversion. A restricted cubic spike function was performed to study their dose-response relationship. MMA subgroups from published studies were used to explore the correlation between different subgroups and cause-specific mortality. Multivariable weighted Cox regression was carried out to investigate MMA and cause-specific mortality in patients with AD and PD. Weighted survival analysis was used to study the survival differences among MMA subgroups. Results A non-linear correlation was observed between MMA and AD-specific death and PD-specific mortality. The presence of MMA Q4 was linked to increased death rates among AD patients (HR = 6.39, 95%CI: 1.19-35.24, P = 0.03) after controlling for potential confounders in a multivariable weighted Cox regression model. In PD patients, the MMA Q4 (Q4: HR: 5.51, 95 % CI: 1.26-24, P = 0.02) was also related to increased mortality. The results of survival analysis indicated that the poorer prognoses were observed in AD and PD patients with MMA Q4. Conclusion The higher level of mitochondria-derived circulating MMA was associated with a higher mortality rate in AD and PD patients. MMA has the potential to be a valuable indicator for evaluating AD and PD patients' prognosis in the clinic.

[PMID: 38662733 PMCID: PMC11045113 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0302073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between the Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index (SII) and bone mineral density (BMD) in the pelvis, left upper and lower limbs, lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and trunk in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) population in the United States. METHODS The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2016) yielded 2302 people with CKD aged >18 years. CKD was defined as eGFR less than 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 or eGFR greater than 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 with urine ACR greater than 30 mg/L.SII was calculated as PC * (NC / LC) from platelet count (PC), neutrophil count (NC), and lymphocyte count (LC). Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between BMD and SII at different sites in CKD patients, smoothed curve-fitting and generalized weighting models were used to investigate non-linear relationships, and a two-tailed linear regression model was used to find potential inflection points in the model. RESULTS We discovered a negative correlation between SII and pelvic BMD among 2302 participants after controlling for gender, age, and race [β = -0.008; 95% confidence value -0.008; 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.014, -0.002]. Lower PEBMD was related to increasing SII (trend p = 0.01125). After additional correction, only pelvic BMD remained adversely linked with SII [value -0.006; 95% CI -0.012, -0.000, p = 0.03368]. Smoothed curve fitting revealed a consistent inverse relationship between SII and pelvic BMD. Further stratified analyses revealed a substantial positive negative connection between SII and pelvic BMD in individuals who did not have hypertension, diabetes, a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2, or stage 2 CKD. The connection between SII and PEBMD in people without diabetes revealed a strong inverted U-shaped curve. CONCLUSION In individuals with CKD in the United States, there was a negative connection between the systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII) and pelvic BMD. The SII might be a low-cost and simple test for CKD-related BMD loss.

Abstract
Purpose The current study aimed to explore the associations of diet quality assessed by healthy eating index-2015 (HEI-2015) with risks of osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD) among American postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older. Methods Postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 through 2018 were included in the final sample. Analysis of variance and Rao-Scott adjusted chi-square tests were used to compare the characteristics across tertiles of HEI-2015. Univariate and multivariate weighted logistic regression models were employed to explore the associations of HEI-2015 tertiles and continuous HEI-2015 with the risks of osteoporosis and low BMD. Nonlinear dose-response associations were evaluated using weighted restricted cubic spline analyses, and the contributions of various HEI-2015 components were assessed using weighted quantile sum regression models. Results The final sample included 3,421 postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older representative for approximately 28.38 million non-institutionalized U.S. postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis prevalence decreased with HEI-2015 tertiles while the prevalence of low BMD showed no significant decrease. Compared with postmenopausal women in the first tertile of HEI-2015, those with the second (OR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.38-0.84) and third (OR: 0.48, 95%CI: 0.29-0.78) HEI-2015 tertiles were associated with reduced osteoporosis risk after multivariate adjustments, but no significant association of HEI-2015 with the risk of BMD was identified. Furthermore, similar effects were confirmed in the sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses and interaction effects. Moreover, significant nonlinear associations were observed between HEI-2015 with osteoporosis risk, and total vegetables, refined grains and greens and beans demonstrated the strongest protective effect among HEI-2015 components against osteoporosis. Conclusions This study strongly suggests the significant negative associations of HEI-2015 with osteoporosis risk in American postmenopausal women. These findings highlight the importance of adherence to the dietary guidelines for Americans in reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances(PFAS) are widespread organic pollutants with endocrine-disrupting effects on human health, but the association of PFAS exposure with metabolic syndrome remains conflicting. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES) program was utilized to evaluate the association of individual PFAS exposure and metabolic disorders and further determined the joint effect of PFAS co-exposures. 13921 participants and five PFAS exposures(PFHxS, MPAH, PFDE, PFNA, and PFUA) were included for analysis. The association between individual PFAS and metabolic syndrome varied in the specific PFAS and the specific metabolic disorder examined. PFHxS was negatively associated with obesity(Q4; OR = 0.75; P < 0.001), but positively associated with hyperlipidemia (Q3; OR = 1.2; P = 0.013). PFUA was negatively associated with obesity (Q4; OR = 0.6; P < 0.001), hyperlipidemia (Q3; OR = 0.85; P = 0.03), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD, Q4; OR = 0.64; P = 0.015), but positively associated with hyperglycemia(Q3; OR = 1.27; P = 0.004). Furthermore, PFAS co-exposures were negatively associated with obesity(OR = 0.63; P < 0.001) and NAFLD(OR = 0.85; P = 0.021), and positively associated with hyperlipidemia(OR = 1.05; P = 0.022), but not significantly associated with hyperglycemia or hypertension. Overall, there was a negative association between PFAS co-exposures and metabolic severity score(β = -0.15; P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis stratified by gender and obesity consistently showed the negative association of PFAS co-exposures with metabolic severity score, and the positive association with hyperlipidemia. However, subgroup analysis showed a negative association with NAFLD in females but not in males, and a negative association with hyperglycemia in the obesity group, but not in the non-obesity group. Collectively, our study showed a negative association of PFAS co-exposures with metabolic syndrome severity score, but did not support a consistent association between PFAS co-exposures and individual components of metabolic syndrome. Additionally, there were gender-specific as well as BMI-specific differences in these associations. Further studies are needed to rule out the reverse causality and clarify the relationship of PFAS co-exposures with the specific metabolic disorder.

Abstract
Background Less research has linked the Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index (SII) with post-stroke depression (PSD). This study aims to look at any potential connections between SII and PSD. Methods The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted in a population that embodied complete SII and stroke data from 2005 to 2020, was used to perform the current cross-sectional survey. A fitted smoothed curve was used to depict the nonlinear link between SII and PSD, and multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between SII and PSD. Results Multiple linear regression analysis showed that SII and PSD were markedly related [1.11(1.05, 1.17)]. Interaction tests showed that the association between SII and PSD was not statistically different between strata, and age, sex, BMI, income poverty ratio, education level, smoking status, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and heart failure did not have a significant effect on this positive association (p > 0.05 for interaction). In addition, a nonlinear association between SII and PSD was found using a two-stage linear regression model. Conclusion The results of our research support the existence of a significant positive correlation between SII levels and PSD. Further prospective trials are required to comprehend SII, which is for the PSD thoroughly.

Inhibitory effects of naringenin on estrogen deficiency-induced obesity via regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and AMPK activation associated with white adipose tissue browning.

Abstract
AIMS Post-ovariectomy (OVX) changes in hormones induce obesity and white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation. Increased energy expenditure via WAT browning is a novel therapeutic strategy for treating obesity. Naringenin (NAR) reduces inflammation and lipogenesis in obesity and attenuates estrogen deficiency-associated metabolic disorders; however, its role in WAT browning remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated NAR ability to inhibit estrogen deficiency-associated obesity in vivo using a rat model and in vitro using 3T3-L1 adipocytes. KEY FINDINGS NAR significantly decreased the body weight and WAT mass of rats. O2 consumption, CO2 production, and energy expenditure were significantly lower in the OVX group than in the sham group, but NAR treatment reversed these effects of OVX. NAR treatment markedly improved glucose intolerance and lipid profiles as well as leptin, adiponectin, and irisin levels. NAR upregulated markers of browning and mitochondrial biogenesis in inguinal WAT. Moreover, it enhanced markers of mitochondrial fusion and inhibited fission via activating the AMP-activated protein kinase pathway. Similar results were observed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Moreover, NAR-induced mitochondrial biogenesis and fusion were suppressed by dorsomorphin (an AMP-activated protein kinase inhibitor). SIGNIFICANCE NAR alleviates obesity and metabolic dysfunction through the induction of WAT browning achieved via the modulation of AMP-activated protein kinase-regulated mitochondrial dynamics in WATs. NAR supplementation may therefore represent a potential intervention for preventing postmenopausal adipose tissue dysregulation.

This is a retrospective cohort study based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database from 2009 to 2014. The psoriasis information was obtained from the questionnaire data, and the SII was calculated as neutrophil × platelet/lymphocyte. We performed matching by controlling age and gender to reach a 1:2 ratio for better statistical power. Weighted logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, restricted cubic spline analysis, and threshold analysis were used to evaluate the association of SII with psoriasis risk. Besides, mediation analysis was conducted to assess the possible regulatory path. Finally, the receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of SII for psoriasis severity. The study involved 16,466 participants including 16,020 no-psoriasis participants and 446 psoriasis participants. After matching, psoriasis and non-psoriasis individuals were 446 and 892, respectively. SII was significantly higher in the psoriasis group than the non-psoriasis group (P < .05). Additionally, white blood cells and monocytes were significantly linked to psoriasis risk and SII scores (P < .05). Besides, SII elevation was an independent predictor for upregulated psoriasis risk (P < .05). There was a nonlinear relationship between SII and psoriasis risk (P nonlinear < .05), which was not mediated by white blood cells and monocytes. Unexpectedly, SII had no significance in predicting SII severity (P > .05). SII can independently predict psoriasis risk but has no impact on psoriasis severity. Further, SII serves as a potential and robust biomarker for identifying high-risk psoriasis individuals.

Abstract
Aims This research investigated menopausal women older than 50 years to find whether there were any independent relationships between the duration of sleep they got and their prevalence of depression. Methods National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets from 2011-2020 were utilized in a cross-sectional study. Using multivariate linear regression models, the linear relationship between sleep duration and depression in menopausal women was investigated. Fitted smoothing curves and thresholds impact evaluation were used to investigate the nonlinear relationship. Then, subgroup analyses were performed according to smoking, drinking alcohol, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and moderate activities. Results This population-based study included a total of 3,897 menopausal women (mean age 65.47 ± 9.06 years) aged≥50 years; 3,159 had a depression score <10, and 738 had a depression score≥10. After controlling for all covariates, the prevalence of depression was 17% higher among participants with short sleep duration [OR=1.17, 95%CI=(0.65, 1.70), P<0.0001] and 86% [OR=1.86, 95%CI=(1.05, 2.66), P<0.0001] compared to participants with normal sleep duration. In subgroup analyses stratified by smoking and diabetes, the sleep duration and depression scores of non-smokers [β=-0.18, 95%CI= (-0.33, -0.02), P=0.0241] and diabetics were independently negatively correlated [β=-0.32, 95%CI= (-0.63, -0.01), P=0.0416]. Using a two-segment linear regression model, we discovered a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and depression scores with an inflection point of 7.5 hours. Less than 7.5 hours of sleep was associated with an increased risk of developing depression [β=-0.81, 95%CI= (-1.05, -0.57), P<0.001]. However, sleeping more than 7.5 hours per night increased the risk of depression considerably [β=0.80, 95%CI= (0.51, 1.08), P<0.001]. Conclusions Depression is associated with sleep duration in menopausal women. Insufficient or excessive sleep may increase the risk of depression in menopausal women.

[PMID: 38363413 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-024-01368-5] [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: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
In this cross-sectional study, we examined the association between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and bone mineral density (BMD) as well as osteoporosis risk among adults aged 50 and over. The findings of this study revealed that higher LE8 scores were associated with higher BMD and reduced osteoporosis risk. PURPOSE The objective of the present study was to evaluate the association between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and bone mineral density (BMD), as well as osteoporosis risk, in adults aged 50 years or over. METHODS This cross-sectional study recruited individuals who were 50 years old or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. LE8 scores were evaluated and calculated according to the scoring algorithm based on the American Heart Association recommendations, which were further categorized into health behaviors (LE8-HB) and health factors (LE8-HF) scores. Furthermore, the present study utilized multivariate linear regression models to examine the correlations between BMD and LE8 scores. In addition, ordinal logistic regression models were employed to determine the associations between the risk of osteoporosis (normal BMD, osteopenia, and osteoporosis) and LE8 scores. RESULTS The final analysis included a total of 2910 participants, whose mean age was 64.49 ± 9.28 years. LE8 and LE8-HF scores exhibited a negative association with BMD and a positive association with osteoporosis risk in unadjusted models. Nevertheless, after adjustment for covariates, LE8 and LE8-HB scores exhibited a positive association with BMD and a negative association with osteoporosis risk, regardless of age, sex, or menopausal status. CONCLUSIONS Scoring systems based on multiple lifestyle and behavior factors, similar to LE8, have the potential to become a novel option and be used for osteoporosis risk assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The research's goal is to look for any potential relationships between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the system inflammation response index (SIRI), along with inflammation indicators and the likelihood of periodontitis. METHODS Ten thousand two hundred eighty-two individuals in sum were determined to be eligible for this cross-sectional study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2009 and 2014. Multiple logistic regression, generalized additive model, smooth curve fitting, subgroup analysis, and interaction tests were done for analyzing the association between periodontitis and SII, SIRI, and other inflammatory indicators. RESULTS The analysis, adjusted for population weighting, revealed that individuals with moderate/severe periodontitis had SII levels of 545.46 (95% CI (529.10, 561.82), P = 0.0044) and SIRI levels of 1.33 (95% CI (1.29, 1.37), P < 0.0001). In a fully adjusted multivariate logistic regression model, SII was not sensibly associated with moderate/severe periodontitis among the continuous and quartile Q1-Q4 groups (OR = 0.97, 95% CI (0.91, 1.02)). The continuous variable of SIRI (OR = 1.11, 95% CI (1.06, 1.17)) and the quartile Q4 group (OR = 1.58, 95% CI (1.28, 1.94)) had a deemed significant positive association with moderate to severe periodontitis. In addition, other inflammatory indicators, especially NLR, PPN, PLR, MLR, PC, NC, and MC were observed to be notably involved moderate/severe periodontist in this research. CONCLUSION We explored the association between periodontitis and two novel comprehensive markers of inflammation (SII and SIRI). CLINICAL RELEVANCE These inflammatory markers are expected to serve as tools to assist clinicians in diagnosing periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging is associated with a health impairment and an increase of the vulnerability of the older people. Strength training under intermittent hypoxic conditions has been shown to have therapeutic effects on individual's health. AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a combined intermittent hypoxia (IH) and whole-body vibration (WBV) training program on health-related outcomes in older people. METHODS A total of 60 adults (over the age of 65) voluntarily participated in an intervention that lasted 20 weeks (three 30-min sessions per week). The participants were divided into four experimental groups subjected to different environmental conditions (IH vs normoxia) and exercise (non-exercise vs WBV). Functional fitness, body composition, metabolic parameters, inflammatory biomarkers, and bone turnover were evaluated before and after the intervention. A multifactorial ANOVA with repeated measures was performed to explore differences within and between groups. RESULTS The results showed that IH and WBV had a positive synergistic effect on inflammatory parameters (CRP and IL-10), bone formation biomarker (PINP), and body composition (muscle and bone mass). CONCLUSION In conclusion, a combined IH and WVB training could be a useful tool to prevent the deterioration of health-related outcomes associated with aging.

Abstract
The role of inflammation in disease promotion is significant, yet the precise association between a newly identified inflammatory biomarker and insulin resistance (IR) and mortality remains uncertain. We aim to explore the potential correlation between systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and these factors. We used data from 2011 to 2016 of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline were employed. Subgroup and interaction analysis were conducted to recognize the consistency of the results. The association between SII and mortality was described by survival analysis. 6734 participants were enrolled, of whom 49.3% (3318) exhibited IR and 7.02% experienced mortality. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that individuals in the highest quartile (Q4) of SII had a significantly increased risk of IR compared to those in the lowest quartile (Q1). We then identified a linear association between SII and IR with an inflection point of 407, but may be influenced by gender. Similarly, compared to Q1, people whose SII at Q4 showed a higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. It showed a significant association between SII and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, but the results need to be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation exerts a critical role in the pathogenesis of infertility. The relationship between inflammatory parameters from peripheral blood and infertility remains unclear. Aim of this study was to investigate the association between inflammatory markers and infertility among women of reproductive age in the United States. METHODS Women aged 20-45 were included from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2020 for the present cross-sectional study. Data of reproductive status was collected from the Reproductive Health Questionnaire. Six inflammatory markers, systemic immune inflammation index (SII), lymphocyte count (LC), product of platelet and neutrophil count (PPN), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) were calculated from complete blood counts in mobile examination center. Survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression was employed to assess the association between inflammatory markers and infertility in four different models, then restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot was used to explore non-linearity association between inflammatory markers and infertility. Subgroup analyses were performed to further clarify effects of other covariates on association between inflammatory markers and infertility. RESULTS A total of 3,105 women aged 20-45 was included in the final analysis, with 431 (13.88%) self-reported infertility. A negative association was found between log2-SII, log2-PLR and infertility, with an OR of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.78,1.15; p = 0.60), 0.80 (95% CI:0.60,1.05; p = 0.10), respectively. The results were similar in model 1, model 2, and model 3. Compared with the lowest quartile (Q1), the third quartile (Q3) of log2-SII was negatively correlation with infertility, with an OR (95% CI) of 0.56 (95% CI: 0.37,0.85; p = 0.01) in model 3. Similarly, the third quartile (Q3) of log2-PLR was negatively correlation with infertility, with an OR (95% CI) of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.43,0.88; p = 0.01) in model 3. No significant association was observed between log2-LC, log2-PPN, log2-NLR, log2-LMR and infertility in model 3. A similar U-shaped relationship between log2-SII and infertility was found (p for non-linear < 0.05). The results of subgroup analyses revealed that associations between the third quartile (Q3) of log2-SII, log2-PLR and infertility were nearly consistent. CONCLUSION The findings showed that SII and PLR were negatively associated with infertility. Further studies are needed to explore their association better and the underlying mechanisms.

Serum HDL partially mediates the association between exposure to volatile organic compounds and kidney stones: A nationally representative cross-sectional study from NHANES. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 907:167915.

Abstract
Environmental exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is ubiquitous, and this study explored whether exposure to VOCs is associated with the risk of kidney stones. We performed a nationally representative US cross-sectional study using data from five survey cycles (2011-2020) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) program. Exposure to VOCs was determined by urine creatinine-corrected metabolites of VOCs (mVOCs). In total 5505 participants and 15 urine mVOCs were included for analysis, and the prevalence of kidney stones was 9.57 % (527/5505). Multivariable logistic regression showed that urine AMCC (parent VOCs (pVOCs): N, N-Dimethylformamide), 3,4-MHA (pVOCs: xylene), MA (pVOCs: ethylbenzene; styrene), DHBMA (pVOCs: 1,3-butadiene), HMPMA (pVOCs: crotonaldehyde) and 2HPMA (pVOCs: propylene oxide) were significantly associated with an increased risk of kidney stones in US general population. Sub-analysis revealed that there was a more pronounced association in women and the overweight/obesity group (body mass index ≥ 25). Moreover, the weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression model and the Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model consistently identified a positive association between co-exposure to VOCs and the risk of kidney stones, in which AMCC played the most important role among the 15 mVOCs. Mediation analysis further identified serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) as a mediator of the association between VOC co-exposure and kidney stones. Our study draws attention to the previously unknown positive associations between non-occupational VOC exposure and the risk of kidney stones in the general population. However, further studies are required to clarify the existence of such causation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In people with haemophilia (PWH), recurrent episodes of bleeding lead to joint deterioration and bone resorption. To date, the effects of various other factors on bone mineral density (BMD) reduction have found conflicting results. AIM The aim of this study was to analyse the relationships between BMD, bone mineral content (BMC), and trabecular bone score (TBS) parameters based on the dual X-ray absorptiometry method (DXA) and potential risk factors for osteoporosis in patients with severe haemophilia A. METHODS Fifty-five men with severe haemophilia A, aged 18-68 years, and 59 healthy volunteer men were enrolled in this study. Densitometric-derived lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD, BMC, and TBS were measured. Blood analyses were performed for morphology parameters, liver and kidney function parameters, and viral status. Serum levels of oestradiol (E2 ), testosterone (T), dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S), parathormone, and vitamin D were measured. RESULTS Patients showed significantly lower BMD compared to controls (p < .003). The result below the expected range for age was nearly double (6.82% vs. 3.92%) in PWH under 50 years old compared to controls. Haemophilic patients also exhibited significantly higher vitamin D3 deficiency (p < .0001), which was strongly associated with low TBS. Additionally, low body mass index and high neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were correlated with low BMC and BMD. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the prevalence of low BMD and BMC in patients with haemophilia in Poland. Factors that contribute to low BMD are primarily vitamin D deficiency, low BMI, high neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and low testosterone/oestradiol ratio.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by chronic/recurrent respiratory infections, bronchiectasis, autoimmunity, inflammatory, gastrointestinal diseases and malignancies associated with a chronic inflammatory state and increased risk of osteoporosis and muscle loss. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD), body composition and their relationship with lymphocyte subpopulations in CVID patients. METHODS Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed to assess BMD, lean mass, and fat mass in CVID patients. Peripheral blood CD4+, CD8+, and CD19+ cells were measured using flow cytometry. RESULTS Thirty-three patients (37.3 ± 10.8 years old) were examined. Although only 11.8% of the individuals were malnourished (BMI <18.5 kg/m2), 27.7% of them had low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), and 57.6% of them had low BMD. Patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis presented lower weight (p = 0.007), lean mass (p = 0.011), appendicular lean mass (p = 0.011), SMI (p = 0.017), and CD4+ count (p = 0.030). Regression models showed a positive association between CD4+ count and bone/muscle parameters, whereas CD19+ B cell count was only associated with muscle variables. Analysis of ROC curves indicated a cutoff value of CD4+ count (657 cells/mm3; AUC: 0.71, 95% CI 0.52-0.90) which was related to low BMD. Weight (p = 0.004), lean mass (p = 0.027), appendicular lean mass (p = 0.022), SMI (p = 0.029), total bone mineral content (p = 0.005), lumbar (p = 0.005), femoral neck (p = 0.035), and total hip BMD (p<0.001) were found to be lower in patients with CD4+ count below the cutoff. CONCLUSION CVID patients presented with low BMD, which was associated with CD4+ count. Moreover, low muscle parameters were correlated with B cell count.

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.

Systemic inflammation mediates environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to increase chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk in United States adults: a cross-sectional NHANES study. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1248812. [PMID: 38074734 PMCID: PMC10703366 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1248812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction This study explored the relationship between environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and identified systemic inflammation as a mediator of the increased risk of COPD from PAHs. Methods Data were obtained from 60,936 middle-aged and older Americans recruited in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2016. Environmental PAHs were measured in terms of urinary concentrations of PAHs metabolites (NAP: 1-hydroxynaphthalene, FLU: 2-hydroxyfluorene, PA: 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, and PYR: 1-hydroxypyrene). We used multifactor logical analysis to figure out the link between PAHs and COPD, and the non-linear relationship was examined using Restricted cubic spline. Spearman correlation analysis was utilized to analyze the connection between PAHs and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). Results The results showed that the COPD population had higher NAP (3.550 vs. 3.282, p < 0.001), FLU (2.501 vs. 2.307, p < 0.001), PA (2.155 vs. 2.082, p = 0.005), and PYR (2.013 vs. 1.959, p = 0.008) levels than non-COPD population. In unadjusted logistics analysis, the risk of COPD with log NAP was higher [OR = 1.461, 95% CI (1.258-1.698), p < 0.001]. Upon taking into account, confounders like sex, age, race, and log NAP still increased a possible COPD risk [OR = 1.429, 95% CI (1.224-1.669), p < 0.001]. Similarly, FLU, PA, and PYR significantly increased the risk of COPD (all OR > 1, p < 0.05), both unadjusted and adjusted. Furthermore, Restricted cubic spline demonstrated a strong link between PAHs levels and COPD risk (p < 0.05). Additionally, a Spearman correlation analysis revealed a favorable association between log FLU and log SII (R = 0.43, p = 0.006), while NAP, PA, and PYR levels were not associated with log SII (all p > 0.05). Ultimately, the mediating effect analysis revealed a mediating effect capacity of 5.34% for the SII-mediated association between FLU and COPD. Conclusion The findings suggest that the risk of COPD is significantly increased when environmental PAHs exposure is at high levels, and that systemic inflammation may be involved in the process.

Abstract
Background The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is used as an indicator of prognosis for a wide range of diseases. Thyroid function has been found to be strongly associated with inflammation. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the correlation between SII and various thyroid functions. Methods This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2012. The association between SII and thyroid function was analyzed using weighted univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. Subgroup analyses, interaction tests, and weighted restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analyses were also employed to test this correlation. Results Of the 6,875 participants (age ≥ 20 years), the mean age was 46.87 ± 0.40 years. The adjusted model showed that lnSII was negatively correlated with FT3 (β = -0.0559, 95% CI -0.1060 to -0.0059,) and FT3/FT4 (β = -0.0920, 95% CI -0.1667 to -0.0173,). There was a positive correlation between lnSII and TT4 (β = 0.1499, 95% CI 0.0722-0.2276,). In subgroup analyses, lnSII still independently affected a wide range of thyroid functions. Weighted RCS analysis showed a nonlinear relationship between FT3 and lnSII. Conclusion Close relationships exist between SII and a variety of thyroid functions. SII can be used as an indicator to predict thyroid dysfunction. Control of inflammatory activity may be a protective measure against thyroid dysfunction. More large-scale prospective studies are necessary to further explore the correlation between SII and thyroid function and the role of obesity in this.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between sleep-related disorders and inflammation has been demonstrated in previous studies. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel inflammatory index based on leukocytes, but its relationship with sleep-related disorder is unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep-related disorder and SII in a nationally representative nonhospitalized sample. METHODS Data were obtained from the 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Exposure variables included self-reported sleep-related disorders, such as sleep duration, sleep problems, high risk of OSA, and daytime sleepiness. SII and other traditional markers of inflammation were considered as outcome variables, including platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Multiple linear regression models were employed to examine the correlation between sleep-related disorders and inflammatory markers. Subgroup interactions were analyzed using likelihood ratio tests, and nonlinear relationships were explored by fitting restricted cubic splines. RESULTS A total of 8,505 participants were enrolled in this study. Overall, sleep-related disorders were found to have a stronger association with SII compared to the PLR and NLR. The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that participants who experienced sleep problems (β: 21.421; 95% CI 1.484, 41.358), had symptoms of OSA (β: 23.088; 95% CI 0.441, 45.735), and reported daytime sleepiness (β: 30.320; 95% CI 5.851, 54.789) exhibited a positive association with higher SII. For the analysis of other inflammatory markers, we only found that daytime sleepiness was associated with increased NLR levels (β: 0.081; 95% CI 0.002, 0.159). CONCLUSION Sleep problems, symptoms of OSA, and daytime sleepiness were found to have a positive association with the SII in US adults. However, further prospective studies are necessary to establish whether there is a causal relationship between these factors.

Abstract
Low femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) was associated with the increased risk of kidney stones. Low dietary magnesium intake and increased serum alkaline phosphatase were associated with the increased risk of low femoral neck BMD in kidney stone formers. PURPOSE To evaluate whether low femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) was associated with a higher risk of kidney stones, and identify risk factors for the comorbidity of osteoporosis/osteopenia and kidney stones. METHODS We analyzed individuals aged ≥ 20 years from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2020 data. Osteoporosis/osteopenia is defined as any T-score < -1.0 of femoral neck, total femoral, and mean lumbar spine (L1-L4) BMD. Dietary intakes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, calcium/phosphorus, vitamin D (25OHD2+25OHD3)) and serum parameters (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, bicarbonate, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase (ALP)) were screened for identifying risk factors for the comorbidity. RESULTS The prevalence of comorbidity of osteoporosis/osteopenia and kidney stones was 4.82%. Femoral neck BMD T-score was negatively associated with the prevalence of kidney stones (n=11,864). Dietary magnesium intake, serum phosphorus, and bicarbonate were negatively associated with the comorbidity prevalence, and serum ALP was positively associated with the comorbidity prevalence (n=6978). Additionally, there remain significant associations of dietary magnesium intake, serum ALP, and bicarbonate with not only femoral neck BMD T-score (n=11331), but also the prevalence of kidney stones (n=23,111) in general population. Furthermore, dietary magnesium intake was positively correlated to femoral neck BMD T-score in stone formers (SFs), while serum ALP was negatively correlated to femoral neck BMD T-score in SFs (n=1163). CONCLUSION Low femoral neck BMD was closely associated with an increased risk of kidney stones. Low magnesium intake and increased serum ALP were associated with the increased risk of the comorbidity, as well as indicative of low femoral neck BMD T-score in SFs, which offered a clue to further clarify the mechanism leading to paradoxical calcification of bone resorption and kidney stones, and had the potential to perform personalized diagnostic workup for low BMD in SFs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Klotho, an anti-aging protein, has been identified to control tissue inflammatory responses. The objective of this research is to determine the linkage between soluble Klotho (S-Klotho) level and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). METHODS Eligible participants with complete information of S-Klotho level and SII were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). Subsequently, weighted multivariate linear regression and subgroup analysis were carried out to evaluate the association. RESULTS Totally, 11,108 adults with complete data on S-Klotho level, SII and other important covariates were included in final analysis. Multivariate liner regression revealed that high level of S-Klotho was associated with low level of SII after multivariate adjustments (β=-0.08, 95%CI:-0.10- -0.05, P < 0.01). When classifying S-Klotho into tertiles, participants in S-Klotho tertile 3 (Q3) showed a decrease in SII level compared with those in the lowest tertile (Q1) (β=-45.44, 95%CI:-64.41- -26.47, P < 0.01 ). The negative associations remained significant regardless of age and gender, and varied depending on smoking status and BMI subgroups. CONCLUSION S-Klotho level was negatively related to SII after controlling for covariates. Further studies need to validate current findings and explore the fundamental mechanisms.

Abstract
Little is known about the inflammatory potential of diet and its relation to bone health. This cross-sectional study examined the association between the inflammatory potential of diet and bone-related outcomes in midwestern, post-menopausal women enrolled in the Heartland Osteoporosis Prevention Study (HOPS) randomized controlled trial. Dietary intake from the HOPS cohort was used to calculate Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®) scores, which were energy-adjusted (E-DIITM) and analyzed by quartile. The association between E-DII and lumbar and hip bone mineral density (BMD) and lumbar trabecular bone scores (TBS; bone structure) was assessed using ANCOVA, with pairwise comparison to adjust for relevant confounders (age, education, race/ethnicity, smoking history, family history of osteoporosis/osteopenia, BMI, physical activity, and calcium intake). The cohort included 272 women, who were predominately white (89%), educated (78% with college degree or higher), with a mean BMI of 27 kg/m2, age of 55 years, and E-DII score of -2.0 ± 1.9 (more anti-inflammatory). After adjustment, E-DII score was not significantly associated with lumbar spine BMD (p = 0.53), hip BMD (p = 0.29), or TBS at any lumbar location (p > 0.05). Future studies should examine the longitudinal impact of E-DII scores and bone health in larger, more diverse cohorts.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common progressive, age-dependent chronic degenerative joint diseases. KOA often develops as a result of a gradual articular cartilage loss caused by its wear and tear. Numerous studies suggest that the degradation of the knee joint involves inflammatory components. This process is also associated with body composition, particularly being overweight and muscle mass loss. The present study aimed to search for novel circulating KOA inflammatory biomarkers, taking into account body composition characteristics. To this aim, we recruited 98 patients diagnosed and radiologically confirmed with KOA and 519 healthy controls from the Arab community in Israel. A panel of soluble molecules, related to inflammatory, metabolic, and musculoskeletal disorders, was measured by ELISA in plasma samples, while several body composition parameters were assessed with bioimpedance analysis. Statistical analysis, including multivariable logistic regression, revealed a number of the factors significantly associated with KOA, independently of age and sex. The most significant independent associations [OR (95% CI)] were fat body mass/body weight index-1.56 (1.20-2.02), systemic immune-inflammation index-4.03 (2.23-7.27), circulating vaspin levels-1.39 (1.15-1.68), follistatin/FSTL1 ratio-1.32 (1.02-1.70), and activin A/FSTL1 ratio-1.33 (1.01-1.75). Further clinical studies are warranted to confirm the relevance of these KOA-associated biological factors. Hereafter, they could serve as reliable biomarkers for KOA in the general human population.
