Abstract
Background and aim
Epidemiologic studies have shown that serum vitamin D (VD) deficiency is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and CVDs-mortality. Klotho is a well-recognized anti-aging protein. However, it is limited understanding the role of Klotho on the association of serum VD and CVDs risk. This study aimed to explore the role of serum Klotho on the association between serum VD and CVDs risk.
Methods and results
Totally 12,634 subjects were included from NHANES (2007–2016), of whom 1365 (10.80 %) had CVDs. Subjects were divided into serum VD deficient group sufficient group with the cutoff value of 50 nmol/L. Serum Klotho concentrations were detected by ELISA kit. Weighted univariate and multivariate were utilized to explore the association of serum Klotho, serum VD and CVDs risk, with odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Subjects with deficient serum VD had a 56 % increase in CVDs risk (OR = 1.56, 95%CI: 1.21–2.00); subjects with deficient serum VD and low serum Klotho have the highest CVDs risk (OR = 1.58, 95%CI: 1.19–2.11). We further found the association of low serum VD and CVDs risk was only observed in low serum Klotho concentration (OR = 1.74, 95%CI: 1.27–2.39), these results suggested serum Klotho concentration play a moderating effect on the association of serum VD concentration and CVDs risk. The results of subgroup analyses suggested these moderating effects were more prominent in subjects with overweight/obese (OR = 1.85, 9 %%CI: 1.25–2.72), and with the history of hypertension (OR = 1.87, 9 %%CI: 1.32–2.65) and dyslipidemia (OR = 1.81, 95%CI: 1.32–2.49).
Conclusions
Low serum VD was associated with high CVDs risk and high serum Klotho may play a moderating effect on the association between serum VD and CVDs risk.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases is a forum designed to focus on the powerful interplay between nutritional and metabolic alterations, and cardiovascular disorders. It aims to be a highly qualified tool to help refine strategies against the nutrition-related epidemics of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. By presenting original clinical and experimental findings, it introduces readers and authors into a rapidly developing area of clinical and preventive medicine, including also vascular biology. Of particular concern are the origins, the mechanisms and the means to prevent and control diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and other nutrition-related diseases.
