Association between eosinophil number and overweight status: a nonlinear, bidirectional study.
Background: The relationship between eosinophil number and overweight status (or obesity) remains a subject of debate. While animal studies suggest a negative correlation between the two, most clinical studies indicate a positive correlation. Therefore, we hypothesize that a nonlinear relationship may exist between eosinophil number and overweight status. This study aims to investigate the association between eosinophil number and overweight status (as well as related indicators) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Methods: We utilized data from NHANES 1999-2018, where eosinophil number was obtained from laboratory tests. Overweight status was defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25. We then applied weighted logistic regression/linear regression, subgroup analysis, and restricted cubic splines (RCS) analysis to investigate the association between eosinophil number and overweight status (as well as related indicators).
Results: A total of 77,217 individuals were included in this study, with 38,106 individuals in the non-overweight group (BMI < 25) and 39,111 individuals in the overweight group (overweight and obesity, BMI ≥ 25). The logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between eosinophil number and overweight status (OR: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.81-3.12, P < 0.001). Additionally, eosinophil number was significantly positively correlated with obesity/BMI/triglycerides and negatively correlated with High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL). Finally, the nonlinear regression results indicated an inverted U-shaped relationship between eosinophil number and overweight status/obesity/BMI.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates an inverted U-shaped relationship between eosinophil number and overweight status/obesity/BMI. Eosinophil number is also significantly associated with HDL and triglycerides. These findings suggest that eosinophils may play a role in overweight (or obesity) and provide valuable insights for exploring the underlying immune mechanisms of overweight status.
期刊介绍：
Lipids in Health and Disease is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal that publishes articles on all aspects of lipids: their biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, role in health and disease, and the synthesis of new lipid compounds.
Lipids in Health and Disease is aimed at all scientists, health professionals and physicians interested in the area of lipids. Lipids are defined here in their broadest sense, to include: cholesterol, essential fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, phospholipids, inositol lipids, second messenger lipids, enzymes and synthetic machinery that is involved in the metabolism of various lipids in the cells and tissues, and also various aspects of lipid transport, etc. In addition, the journal also publishes research that investigates and defines the role of lipids in various physiological processes, pathology and disease. In particular, the journal aims to bridge the gap between the bench and the clinic by publishing articles that are particularly relevant to human diseases and the role of lipids in the management of various diseases.
