Serum Resistin Concentrations and Incident Heart Failure in Older Adults
By Zhaochuan Wang
Objectives: Resistin is a polypeptide found in adipocytes that promotes insulin resistance and may be a novel risk factor for heart failure. We investigated the association between baseline serum resistin concentrations and incident heart failure (HF) during the next 5 years for adults aged 70-79 years.
Methods: We used data from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) Study, a prospective, NIH-funded cohort study, which enrolled 3075 participants from Pittsburg, PA, and Memphis, TN. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted for incident HF during the 5-year follow up by resistin quartiles, overall and in subgroups by race and gender. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to compare incident HF across quartiles of baseline serum resistin concentrations. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess whether baseline serum resistin concentration was associated with incident HF over 5 years of follow up. Assessment of interaction and confounding was performed.
Results: Median follow-up time was 949 days. Incident HF curves were significantly different among resistin quartile groups (log-rank test p-value < 0.0001). The lowest quartile of serum resistin had the highest probability of HF-free survival, followed by 2nd, 3rd quartiles, and lastly the 4th quartile. Serum resistin concentration was associated with incident HF during the follow-up period [raw HR per 10 ng/ml increase = 1.21 (95% CI: 1.16-1.27), p=0.005;]. The multivariable adjusted effect of resistin HR per 10 ng/ml increase in the overall population is 1.13 (95% CI: 1.11-1.15, p=0.14). This association was modified by baseline physical activity status (p-value for interaction= 0.0438). The hazard of incident HF was 1.21 (95% CI: 1.19-1.23, p=0.006) and 1.22 (95% CI: 1.21-1.24, p=0.004) per 10 ng/ml increase in serum resistin level for participants with physical activity and physical inactivity respectively. This effect of resistin on incident HF was also confounded by sitting systolic blood pressure, heart rate, trunk fat, total fat percentage, and baseline serum albumin concentration.
Conclusions: Serum resistin concentration is associated with incident HF over 5 years in older adults, and this association was modified by physical activity and confounded by sitting systolic blood pressure, heart rate, trunk fat, total fat percentage, and baseline serum albumin concentration.
