Abstract
Background: Previous studies have proven the relationship between frailty and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). However, the potential mechanisms need to be further explored. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of lipid accumulation products (LAP) in the relationship between frailty and MACCE.
Methods: This study recruited 7901 participants aged 45 and above from wave 2011 and 2018 of the China Longitudinal Study of Health and Retirement (CHARLS). Logistic regression models were employed to examine the relationship between frailty and MACCE and the mediating effects of LAP, using the bootstrap method to confirm path effects.
Results: Frailty group presented the highest risk of MACCE (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03-1.10). Frailty directly impacted MACCE (β = 0.045, P = 0.007). Frailty had a significant effect on LAP (β = 12.21, P < 0.01), while LAP had a significant impact on MACCE (β = 11.14, p = 0.014). The mediation effect of LAP accounted for 1.7% of the total effect regarding the frailty with MACCE.
Conclusion: LAP mediate the relationship between frailty and MACCE. Our findings suggest that instructing frailty patients to have a reasonable diet and exercise to control LAP at a low level may be an effective measure to reduce MACCE.
期刊介绍:
rchives of Public Health is a broad scope public health journal, dedicated to publishing all sound science in the field of public health. The journal aims to better the understanding of the health of populations. The journal contributes to public health knowledge, enhances the interaction between research, policy and practice and stimulates public health monitoring and indicator development. The journal considers submissions on health outcomes and their determinants, with clear statements about the public health and policy implications. Archives of Public Health welcomes methodological papers (e.g., on study design and bias), papers on health services research, health economics, community interventions, and epidemiological studies dealing with international comparisons, the determinants of inequality in health, and the environmental, behavioural, social, demographic and occupational correlates of health and diseases.
