Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between concentrations of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and fracture risk in community-dwelling older women and explore whether this was explained by the genetic regulation of SHBG.
Methods: This prospective cohort study examined 4871 women aged ≥70 years who were not taking medications influencing SHBG concentrations. A genome-wide association study was undertaken to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with SHBG concentrations. Incident fracture was confirmed by medical imaging and adjudicated by expert review committee.
Results: The median age of participants was 74.0 years. Over 3.9 (standard deviation 1.4) years of follow-up, 484 participants had an incident fracture. There was a linear trend for a positive association between SHBG concentrations and fracture risk (p = 0.001), with the highest SHBG quartile associated with a significantly greater fracture risk compared with the lowest quartile (hazard ratio 1.54, 95% confidence interval 1.16-2.04, p = 0.003), adjusting for age, body mass index, alcohol consumption, smoking, diabetes, impaired renal function, treatment allocation, medications affecting bone and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Two independent SNPs were associated with SHBG concentrations, rs10822163 and rs727428, but neither was associated with fracture risk.
Conclusion: SHBG concentrations were positively associated with a greater fracture risk in community-dwelling women aged ≥70 years, which was not explained by genetic variants associated with SHBG regulation.
期刊介绍:
Climacteric is the official journal of the International Menopause Society (IMS). As an international peer-reviewed journal it publishes original research and reviews of all aspects of aging in women.
Climacteric was founded by the IMS in 1998 and today has become a leading journal in the publication of peer-reviewed papers on the menopause, climacteric and mid-life health. Topics covered include endocrine changes, symptoms attributed to the menopause and their treatment, hormone replacement and alternative therapies, lifestyles, and the counselling and education of peri- and postmenopausal women. Climacteric, published bimonthly, also features regular invited reviews, editorials and commentaries on recent developments.
The editorial review board of Climacteric includes leading scientific and clinical experts in the field of midlife medicine and research and is headed by its Editor-in-Chief, Professor Rod Baber of Australia. He and his team of Associate Editors act independently to set a clear editorial policy, co-ordinate peer review, and ensure a rapid response to submitted papers.
