The influence of lipid metabolic markers on hip osteoarthritis / 中华风湿病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of lipid metabolic markers on hip osteoarthritis (OA) and the correlation with the pain of hip.Methods In this retrospectively cross sectional analysis,393 subjects fufilling the inclusive criteria were continuously included from June 2013 to September 2014.The presentation of hip X-ray of subjects were classified into OA group and non-OA group in terms of Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale,the subjects with Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L)≥2 was classified into OA group.The average of age in total was (62±9) years.There were 183 males and 210 females,the number of patients with OA was 182.There were 210 patients with hypertension and 118 patients with diabetes while the number of smoking patients was 74.The demographic information,risk factors,blood pressure,blood glucose,lipid metabolic markers were analyzed.Differences in proportions were compared using the Chi-square test.Difterences in continuous variables were tested for statistical significance using t test analysis.VAS score was used to evaluate the severity of hip pain.Independent risk factors were confirmed by using multiple logistic regression analysis.The correlation between the risk factors and severity of hip pain was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results Statistically significance existed in age (t=-4.849),sex (x2=8.946),BMI (t=-4.794),hypertension (x2=4.751),smoking (x2=7.062),metabolic syndrome (x2=34.406),apolipoprotein A1 (t=2.352),apolipoprotein B (t=-6.870),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (t=2.519),triglyceride (t=-4.652) and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio (t=-4.901) between OA group and non OA group.Age [OR =1.060(1.033,1.086)],metabolic syndrome [OR=3.682(2.284,5.938)] and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio [OR=5.743(2.393,13.785)] were the independent risk factors.The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio had positive correlation with the severity of hip pain(r=0.379).Conclusion ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is the independent risk factor of hip osteoarthritis,and has positive correlation with the severity of hip pain.The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio should be monitored in hip osteoarthritis patients in clinical work,to get the relief of pain and improve hip osteoarthritis.
