Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the relationship of urinary 8-oxoguanosine(8-oxoGsn)with muscle mass, muscle strength, advanced glycation end products(AGEs), trace elements, heavy metals and other health-related indictors in different age groups of the Beijing area.Methods:A cross-sectional research was conducted.Healthy adults aged 25 to 93 years who sought health examination in the Health Examination Center of Beijing Hospital were recruited.Participants were divided into the young and middle-aged group and the elderly group with age 60 as the cutoff.Urinary 8-oxoGsn levels were detected by mass spectrometry and adjusted using urine creatinine values.Body composition was measured by multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA). Grip strength, 6-meter walking speed and 5-times sit to stand test were conducted by experienced team members.Skin autofluorescence was used to detect skin AGEs.A portable optical scanner was used to detect heavy metals and trace elements using reference points of the palm.Levels of fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, high-density lipoprotein and other common blood biochemical indicators were measured.Results:A total of 106 subjects were enrolled, including 68 in the young and middle-aged group and 38 in the elderly group.The proportion of patients with hypertension(14 ases or 36.8% vs.7 ases or 10.3%), systolic blood pressure[130(120, 140) vs.120(110, 126)mmHg], fasting blood glucose[5.7(5.2, 5.9)mmol/L vs.5.2(4.9, 5.5)mmol/L], glycosylated hemoglobin[6.0(5.7, 6.2)% vs.5.7(5.4, 5.9)%], 8-oxoGsn/Cre[1.9(1.4, 2.6) vs.1.3(1.0, 1.6)], AGEs(2.44±0.46 vs.2.01±0.29), 5-times sit to stand test scores[7.8(6.9, 9.8)s vs.6.0(5.0, 6.8)s], magnesium(31.4±7.2 vs.27.7±6.4), mercury(0.013±0.003 vs.0.008±0.003)and silver[0.011(0.010, 0.012) vs.0.010(0.009, 0.011)]were higher in the elderly group than in the young and middle-aged group, while grip strength[28.0(22.0, 35.1)kg vs.36.6(28.5, 49.1)kg], fat-free mass[44.9(37.5, 51.1)kg vs.53.3(42.4, 58.5)kg], trunk muscle mass[21.0(17.5, 23.9)kg vs.25(19.8, 27.4)kg], appendicular skeletal muscle mass[20.9(17.6, 23.9)kg vs.24.9(19.8, 27.3)kg], calcium[273.3(219.1, 480.0) vs.457.8(428.5, 489.1)], cobalt[0.029(0.027, 0.031) vs.0.031(0.028, 0.034)], selenium[1.44(0.93, 1.71) vs.1.61(1.53, 1.68)]and nickel[3.5(3.3, 4.0)*10 -3vs.3.8(3.6, 4.1)*10 -3]were lower in the elderly group than in the young and middle-aged group( P<0.05). Urinary 8-oxoGsn/Cre levels were positively correlated with age, time of 5-times sit to stand test, AGEs, fasting blood glucose, mercury and aluminum( rs=0.443, 0.292, 0.357, 0.205, 0.316 and 0.214, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with trunk muscle mass, appendicular skeletal muscle mass, fat-free mass, grip strength, silicon and manganese( rs=-0.334, -0.333, -0.332, -0.366, -0.246 and -0.234, P<0.05), with statistical significance. Conclusions:Increased urinary 8-oxoGsn/Cre levels are correlated with decreased muscle mass, poor physical function, accumulation of AGEs, decreased trace element levels and increased heavy metal levels.Therefore, 8-oxoGsn has the potential to be a broadly representative and sensitive indicator for health assessment.
