Serum ferritin levels increase in postmenopausal women, and they are reported to be linked to major health problems. Here, we investigated the association between serum ferritin levels and insulin resistance (IR) in postmenopausal women.
A total of 6632 healthy Korean women (4357 premenopausal and 2275 postmenopausal) who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) in 2007-2010 were enrolled in the study. Serum ferritin values were divided into six groups for the premenopausal and postmenopausal groups. IR and obesity indices were evaluated according to the six serum ferritin groups. Statistical analysis was carried out using SAS software, version 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).
The association between the IR indices and ferritin groups had a higher level of statistical significance in the postmenopausal group than in the premenopausal group. In addition, for the postmenopausal group, the estimates increased significantly in the sixth ferritin group compared to those in the first ferritin group. However, the association between the obesity indices and ferritin levels was not significantly different between the premenopausal and postmenopausal groups.
Elevated serum ferritin levels were associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance in postmenopausal women.
绝经后女性血清铁蛋白水平升高,据报道与主要健康问题有关。在此,我们研究了绝经后女性血清铁蛋白水平与胰岛素抵抗(IR)之间的关联。
共有6632名健康韩国女性(4357名绝经前女性和2275名绝经后女性)参与了2007 - 2010年的韩国国家健康与营养检查调查(KNHANES)并被纳入本研究。血清铁蛋白值在绝经前和绝经后组中被分为六组。根据六个血清铁蛋白组评估胰岛素抵抗和肥胖指数。使用SAS软件9.2版(美国北卡罗来纳州卡里的SAS研究所)进行统计分析。
胰岛素抵抗指数与铁蛋白组之间的关联在绝经后组中比在绝经前组中具有更高的统计学显著性水平。此外,对于绝经后组,与第一个铁蛋白组相比,第六个铁蛋白组的估计值显著增加。然而,绝经前和绝经后组之间肥胖指数与铁蛋白水平之间的关联没有显著差异。
血清铁蛋白水平升高与绝经后女性胰岛素抵抗风险增加有关。
