Ankle-brachial index (ABI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) are both important indicators of arterial stiffness and vascular injury. At present, most studies on the relationship between ABI and baPWV and all-cause mortality in community-based elderly are analyzing ABI or baPWV alone, and will focus on a single special population such as diabetes and stroke. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ABI and baPWV in a Chinese community-based elderly population, and to analyze their impact on all-cause mortality in a community-based population through a follow-up of nearly 10 years.
Participants were residents of the Wanshou Road community in Beijing, China. A total of 2,162 people in the community were included, with an average age of 71.48 years. During a mean follow-up period of 9.87 years, 1,826 subjects completed follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and different Cox regression models were used to verify the association of ABI and baPWV with all-cause mortality. The selected subjects were divided into two groups according to ABI and baPWV, and ABI was divided into two groups with 0.90 as the cut-off point (group 1: 0.9 < ABI ≤ 1.3; group 2: ABI ≤ 0.9); according to the level of baPWV, they were divided into three groups (Tertile 1: baPWV <1761.5 cm/s; Tertile 2: 1761.5 ≤ baPWV <2121.5 cm/s; Tertile 3: baPWV ≥2121.5 cm/s).
1,826 people were included in the statistical analysis, and the total mortality rate was 181.3/1000. The 10-year all-cause mortality rate of the abnormal ABI group (group 2) was 44.7%, and that of the normal ABI group (group 1) was 17.0%; The 10-year all-cause mortality rates from low to high in the baPWV tertile were 10.0%, 18.7%, and 26.4%. In the Cox proportional hazards model, after adjusting for possible confounders, the effect of baPWV on all-cause mortality was significant, with the 3rd tertile having a 1.647-fold higher risk of all-cause mortality than the 1st tertile ( = 0.014 ).
ABI and baPWV are risk factors affecting all-cause mortality in the elderly community population, and baPWV is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in the elderly community population.
踝臂指数(ABI)和臂踝脉搏波速度(baPWV)都是动脉僵硬度和血管损伤的重要指标。目前,大多数关于社区老年人中ABI和baPWV与全因死亡率关系的研究都是单独分析ABI或baPWV,且多聚焦于糖尿病和中风等单一特殊人群。本研究旨在评估中国社区老年人群中ABI与baPWV的关系,并通过近10年的随访分析它们对社区人群全因死亡率的影响。
研究对象为中国北京万寿路社区的居民。该社区共纳入2162人,平均年龄71.48岁。在平均9.87年的随访期内,1826名受试者完成了随访。采用Kaplan-Meier生存分析和不同的Cox回归模型来验证ABI和baPWV与全因死亡率的关联。根据ABI和baPWV将入选受试者分为两组,ABI以0.90为界分为两组(组1:0.9<ABI≤1.3;组2:ABI≤0.9);根据baPWV水平分为三组(三分位数1:baPWV<1761.5 cm/s;三分位数2:1761.5≤baPWV<2121.5 cm/s;三分位数3:baPWV≥2121.5 cm/s)。
1826人纳入统计分析,总死亡率为181.3/1000。ABI异常组(组2)的10年全因死亡率为44.7%,ABI正常组(组1)为17.0%;baPWV三分位数中从低到高的10年全因死亡率分别为10.0%、18.7%和26.4%。在Cox比例风险模型中,调整可能的混杂因素后,baPWV对全因死亡率的影响显著,三分位数3的全因死亡风险比三分位数1高1.647倍(P = 0.014)。
ABI和baPWV是影响社区老年人群全因死亡率的危险因素,且baPWV是社区老年人群全因死亡率的独立预测因子。
