Abstract:
Objective:To estimate the longitudinal association between serum lipid biomarkers and the development of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) in middle-aged and old adults (≥45) in China, while examining effect differences among degree of dyslipidemia aggregation and various dyslipidemia combination patterns.Methods:Based on data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011-2018), logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG (4 forms of dyslipidemias), degree and pattern of dyslipidemia combination with CMM. We also used restricted cubic splines to show the dose-response associations between 4 lipid biomarkers and CMM development.Results:Of the 6 522 participants included, 590 (9.05%) developed CMM. After adjusting for covariates, all 4 forms of dyslipidemias were positively associated with CMM development (high TC: OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.03-1.71; high LDL-C: OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.05-1.75; low HDL-C: OR=1.45, 95% CI: 1.19-1.77; high TG: OR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.20-1.88). The U-shaped dose-response relationship between LDL-C and CMM development was observed ( P for non-linear =0.022). The odds of CMM increased with the increase of dyslipidemias forms, which was highest in those with ≥3 forms of dyslipidemias ( OR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.33-3.06). In various dyslipidemia form combinations, the possibility of CMM development was highest in those with high TC, high LDL-C and low HDL-C ( OR=3.54, 95% CI: 1.40-8.67). High TC and high LDL-C were significantly associated with CMM development in people without cardiometabolic diseases. Low HDL-C was positively associated with diabetes and CMM development in participants without cardiometabolic diseases, cardiovascular disease (CVD) followed by diabetes, and diabetes followed by CVD. High TG was positively associated with diabetes and CMM in participants without cardiometabolic diseases, and diabetes followed by CVD. Conclusions:A total of 4 forms of dyslipidemia were all independently associated with CMM development in middle-aged and old adults in China. The dose-response relationship between LDL-C level and CMM development was U-shaped. The aggregation of 4 forms of dyslipidemia were associated with the development of CMM. Low HDL-C and high TG were significantly associated with multiple patterns of cardiometabolic diseases development.
