Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between circulating adiponectin, leptin and vaspin with bone mineral density (BMD), arterial stiffness and vascular calcification in post-menopausal women. We hypothesised that adipokines produced by adipose tissue may be mediators of bone and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and explain, in part, the observed association between osteoporosis and CVD. DESIGN: We studied 386 ambulant community dwelling postmenopausal women aged (mean [SD] 61 [6.4] years). BMD at the lumbar spine, femoral neck (FN), and total hip (TH), body composition; fat mass (FM) and lean mass (LM) as well as abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) were determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index, markers of arterial stiffness were measured. Fasting adiponectin, leptin and vaspin were quantified in serum. RESULTS: A positive independent association was observed between vaspin and BMD at the FN (p = 0.009), TH (p = 0.037) in the whole study population adjusted for confounders including age, FM, LM and lifestyle variables. Using the same model, a negative association was seen between adiponectin and BMD at the FN in women with osteoporosis (p = 0.043). Serum adiponectin was significantly higher in women with fractures (20.8 [9.3] µg/ml compared to those without (18.5 [8.6] µg/ml, p = 0.018) and associated with a significant increased risk of fracture (HR 1.032, 95% CI 1.003-1.063, p = 0.032). Leptin was not associated with BMD or fracture risk after adjustment. Adiponectin was independently associated with AAC (p = 0.007) and significantly higher in women with AAC scores > 1; (19.2[9.2]) compared to those with no or low AAC scores (<1); 16.8 [8.0], p = 0.018). In adjusted analyses, PWV velocity was positively associated with circulating vaspin (p = 0.039) and AI was negatively associated with serum leptin (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Adiponectin, leptin, vaspin are related to markers of bone and vascular health and may contribute to the observed association between osteoporosis and CVD.
