Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number in peripheral blood and related factors on the risk of hypertension in coal miners.Methods A case-control study was conducted in 378 coal miners with hypertension and 325 healthy coal miners recruited from Datong Coal Mine Group.A standard questionnaire was used to collect their general information,such as demographic characteristics,habits and occupational history.Fluorescence quantitative PCR was performed to detect the copy number of mtDNA.Logistic regression model was applied for identifying the related risk factors of hypertension and analyzing the interaction between mtDNA copy number and risk factors.Results The prevalence of hypertension of high mtDNA copy number was lower than mtDNA copy numberin 0-5.67 group,but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.414).Alcohol drinking (OR=1.80,95％CI:1.26-2.56),family history of hypertension (OR=1.74,95％ CI:1.20-2.50),work shifts (OR=0.69,95％ CI:0.48-0.99),education level (P=0.012) and family monthly income level (P=0.001) were related to the prevalence of hypertension.There were potential interactions between mtDNA copy number and alcohol drinking,family monthly income level,family history of hypertension,respectively.Alcohol drinking was a risk factor for hypertension [1.77(1.25-2.50)].Potential interactions between mtDNA copy number and alcohol drinking reduced the risk of hypertension (OR=1.20,95％CI:1.07-1.35).Family history of hypertension was a risk factor for hypertension [1.81(1.26-2.59)].Potential interactions between mtDNA copy number and family history of hypertension reduced the risk of hypertension (OR=1.24,95％ CI:1.09-1.41).Family monthly income level was a protect factor for hypertension [0.55(0.46-0.66)].Potential interactions between mtDNA copy number and family monthly income level increased the protection role of hypertension (OR=0.90,95％CI:0.86-0.94).Conclusion mtDNA copy number variation was not significantly associated with the prevalence of hypertension in coal miners,but mtDNA copy number shewed multiplication interaction on the prevalence of hypertension with alcohol drinking,family monthly income level as well as family history of hypertension and made their influences weaken.
