Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between interleukin-6 (IL-6), endothelin-1 (ET-1), E-selectin and the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular events.
METHODSBased on a cohort study in which 2 589 Mongolians had been followed up for 10 years, a nested case-control study was carried out to analyze the relationship between IL-6, ET-1, E-selectin and the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular events. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).
RESULTSThe average level of IL-6 (7.66 vs. 8.77 pg/ml), ET-1 (0.74 vs. 0.75 pg/ml) and E-selectin (17.96 vs. 18.32 ng/ml)were not significantly different between the case and the control groups (P > 0.05). Data from the logistic regression analysis showed that IL-6, ET-1 and E-selectin were not significantly associated with the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular events. The multivariable adjusted ORs (95%CI) on the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular events were 0.69 (0.41-1.16), 1.10 (0.66-1.85) and 1.19 (0.71-2.00) for the participants with IL-6>23.91 pg/ml, ET-1>1.33 pg/ml and E-selectin>24.43 ng/ml, respectively, compared with those having IL-6≤23.91 pg/ml, ET-1≤1.33 pg/ml or E-selectin≤24.43 ng/ml.
CONCLUSIONData from our study indicated that the levels of IL-6, ET-1 and E-selectin at baseline were not significantly associated with the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular events in people from Inner Mongolia.
