Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between serum total bilirubin (TB) and dyslipidemia. METHODS: Odds ratios (ORs) of prevalent dyslipidemia for TB were calculated in 2113 men and 1265 women. Correlation coefficients between baseline TB as well as the change in TB over 5 years and baseline log triglycerides, baseline HDL cholesterol and the changes in log triglycerides and HDL cholesterol over 5 years were calculated. Hazard ratios (HRs) of incident hypertriglyceridemia and hypo-HDL cholesterolemia for TB over 5 years were calculated in 1324 men and 915 women and 1583 men and 884 women, respectively. RESULTS: The ORs of prevalent hypertriglyceridemia and hypo-HDL cholesterolemia for each one SD increase in TB were 0.83 (p < 0.001) in men and 0.71 (p = 0.074) in women and 0.64 (p < 0.001) in men and 0.78 (p = 0.089) in women, respectively adjusted for age, smoking, and other confounders. The baseline TB was significantly correlated with baseline log triglycerides and HDL cholesterol both in men and women while the change in TB was significantly correlated with the changes in log triglycerides and HDL cholesterol in men and the change in HDL cholesterol in women. The HRs of incident hypertriglyceridemia and hypo-HDL cholesterolemia for each one SD increase in TB were 0.99 (p = 0.848) in men and 0.74 (p = 0.033) in women and 1.08 (p = 0.345) in men and 0.85 (p = 0.220) in women, respectively adjusted for age, smoking, and other confounders. CONCLUSION: Baseline TB was significantly associated with both prevalent hypertriglyceridemia and hypo-HDL cholesterolemia in men and with incident hypertriglyceridemia in women.
