BACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate the mediation effect of dyslipidemia induced inflammation on the causal associations between obesity and Osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: This cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2010). The association between general and abdominal obesity (exposure), OA (outcome) and mediators (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and C-reactive protein) was assessed using multivariate linear and logistic regression models and mediation analysis. RESULTS: A total of 23,308 participants were enrolled in this study, and 2,180 were diagnosed with OA. Participants with obesity were more likely to have OA (general obesity: OR = 2.508, 95%CI: 1.602, 4.197, P < 0.001; abdominal obesity: OR = 3.814, 95%CI: 3.242, 4.509, P < 0.001) than those without the obesity. High quantile of total cholesterol (OR:1.399; 95%CI:1.235, 1.257; P < 0.001), high-density lipoprotein (OR:1.644; 95%CI:1.443, 1.874; P < 0.001) and C-reactive protein (OR:1.952; 95%CI:1.707, 2.237; P < 0.001) increased the risk of OA when compared to lowest quartile. In the linear regression, the betas varied from 0.668 (95%CI: 0.635, 0.741; P < 0.001) to 0.693 (95%CI: 0.674, 0.712; P < 0.001), suggesting that individual with obesity had higher C-reactive protein levels. Additionally, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein were associated with C-reactive protein. Mediation analyses showed that the causal association of obesity with OA risk was mediated by high-density lipoprotein and C-reactive protein, with the mediation proportion ranging from 17.216 to 45.058%. Moreover, high-density lipoprotein to C-reactive protein path acting as serial mediators in the associations between obesity and OA (general obesity: β = 0.012; 95%CI: 0.009-0.014; abdominal obesity: β = 0.011; 95%CI: 0.008-0.014). CONCLUSION: The association between obesity and OA is partially mediated by systemic inflammation caused by dyslipidemia. Our study suggested anti-lipid therapy may be positive for obese individuals with OA.
背景:本研究旨在评估血脂异常诱导的炎症对肥胖与骨关节炎(OA)之间因果关系的中介作用。
方法:本横断面研究使用了来自国家健康和营养检查调查(1999-2010 年)的数据。使用多元线性和逻辑回归模型以及中介分析评估了一般和腹部肥胖(暴露)、OA(结局)和中介物(总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白和 C 反应蛋白)之间的关联。
结果:本研究共纳入 23308 名参与者,其中 2180 名被诊断为 OA。与非肥胖者相比,肥胖者更易患 OA(一般肥胖:OR=2.508,95%CI:1.602,4.197,P<0.001;腹部肥胖:OR=3.814,95%CI:3.242,4.509,P<0.001)。总胆固醇高四分位数(OR:1.399;95%CI:1.235,1.257;P<0.001)、高密度脂蛋白(OR:1.644;95%CI:1.443,1.874;P<0.001)和 C 反应蛋白(OR:1.952;95%CI:1.707,2.237;P<0.001)升高均会增加 OA 的发病风险。在线性回归中,β 值范围为 0.668(95%CI:0.635,0.741;P<0.001)至 0.693(95%CI:0.674,0.712;P<0.001),表明肥胖者的 C 反应蛋白水平更高。此外,总胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白与 C 反应蛋白相关。中介分析表明,肥胖与 OA 风险的因果关系部分由血脂异常引起的系统性炎症介导,中介比例范围为 17.216%至 45.058%。此外,高密度脂蛋白至 C 反应蛋白的路径在肥胖与 OA 之间的关联中作为串联中介物(一般肥胖:β=0.012;95%CI:0.009-0.014;腹部肥胖:β=0.011;95%CI:0.008-0.014)。
结论:肥胖与 OA 之间的关联部分由血脂异常引起的系统性炎症介导。我们的研究表明,抗脂质治疗可能对肥胖合并 OA 的患者有益。
