Abstract
ObjectiveTo assess the association of different sedentary behaviors and glucosamine use with the risk of kidney stones and examine the modification of genetic risk of kidney stones on this association. Methods473,225 participants free of kidney stones at baseline from the UK Biobank were included. Total sedentary time was calculated as the sum of the duration of TV-watching, driving, and non-occupational computer using. The primary outcome was new-onset kidney stones. ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 12.0 years, 5528 cases of kidney stones were documented. All major sedentary behaviors and total sedentary time were significantly positively related to the risk of kidney stones (All P for trend<0.05). Participants with total sedentary time ≥ 3.5 h/day had a significantly higher risk of new-onset kidney stones (vs. <3.5 h/day [tertile 1]; HR, 1.18; 95%CI,1.10–1.27). Compared with non-users, participants who regularly used glucosamine had a significantly lower risk of new-onset kidney stones in those with total sedentary time < 3.5 h/day (HR, 0.72; 95%CI,0.59–0.86), but not in those with total sedentary time ≥ 3.5 h/day (HR, 0.99; 95%CI,0.91–1.08; P-interaction = 0.001). Among participants with total sedentary time < 3.5 h/day, there was a dose-response relationship of glucosamine use with new-onset kidney stones (P for trend<0.001). Genetic risks of kidney stones did not significantly modify the association. ConclusionsTV-watching, driving and non-occupational computer using were all positively associated with the risk of new-onset kidney stones. Glucosamine use was associated with a lower risk of new-onset kidney stones in participants with total sedentary time < 3.5 h/day, following a dose-response relationship.
