Correlation between serum HDL/LDL and t-PINP /β-CTX and osteoporotic vertebral fractures in elderly women

Abstract

To explore high density lipoprotein (HDL)/low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total typeⅠcollagen amino terminal extender peptide (t-PINP)/ C-terminal peptide of typeⅠcollagen β special sequence(β-CTX)and risk of osteoporosis vertebral fractures (OPVFs) in elderly women. The clinical data of 446 female OPVFs patients aged above 60 years old from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether or not fracture, patients were divided into non-fracture group (186 patients) and fracture group(260 patients). Univariate analysis was performed to analysis age, body mass index(BMI), N-terminal mioldle molecular fragment of osteocalcin, N-MID OC), t-PINP, β-CTX, 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25-(OH) VitD], blood sugar (Glu), total cholesterol(TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), Ca, P, Mg, urea (UREA), creatinine (Cr) and Cystatin C(CysC), and correlation between OPVFs and the above indexes and lipid, bone metabolism indexes between two groups;Logistic regression was performed to analyze risk factors and stratification relationship between vertebral fracture and HDL/LDL, t-PINP/β-CTX. Logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors and stratification relationship between OPVFs and HDL/LDL, t-PINP/β-CTX. There were no significant difference in age and BMI between non-fracture group and fracture group (P>0.05). Compared with non-fracture group, contents of HDL, t-PINP/β-CTX and HDL/LDL in fracture group were decreased, and contents of β-CTX were increased (P<0.05). OPVFs was positively correlated with β-CTX (r=0.110, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with HDL, HDL/LDL and t-PINP/β-CTX (r=-0.157, -0.175, -0.181, P<0.05). HDL and HDL/LDL were negatively correlated with β-CTX (r=-0.22, -0.12, P<0.05) and t-PINP (r=-0.13, -0.10, P<0.05). 25-(OH) VitD was positively correlated with TC and HDL (r=0.11, 0.18, P<0.05). HDL/LDL was positively correlated with t-PINP/β-CTX(r=0.11, P=0.02). t-PINP/β-CTX[OR=0.998, 95%CI(0.997, 1.000), P<0.05], HDL/LDL[OR=0.228, 95%CI(0.104, 0.499), P<0.01] were risk factors for vertebral fracture. The lower levels between two tristratified indicators, the higher the vertebral fracture rate. The risk of fracture was 2.5 and 2 times higher in the lowest stratum than in the highest stratum, with an adjusted OR was[2.112, 95%CI(1.310, 3.404)] and [2.331, 95%CI(1.453, 3.739)], respectively. Serum low HDL/LDL and t-PINP /β-CTX are independent risk factors for OPVF in elderly women, and have good predictive value for OPVF risk.
