The association of abdominal obesity, obesity and parathyroid hormone in Korean adults (aged≥50 years): The Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2011

The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between obesity and abdominal obesity and Parathyroid hormone (PTH) in adults aged 50 or older (n=3,305) using 2011 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data, which represents national data in Korea. Key study results were as follows: First, the PTH levels increased significantly with an increase in Body mass index (BMI) (p=0.003), shown by sIAD levels after adjusted the variables that affect sIAD levels (age, gender, SBP, DBP, and 25(OH)D). These were $66.25{\pm}0.89ng/dL$ for Normal weight (BMI, < $23.0kg/m^2$), $67.83{\pm}1.07 ng/dL$ for Overweight (BMI, $23.0-24.9kg/m^2$), $70.71{\pm}0.94ng/dL$ for Obesity (BMI,${\geq}25.0kg/m^2$). Second, the PTH level of abdominal obesity group ($69.30{\pm}0.80ng/dL$) was significantly higher (p=0.017) than non-abdominal obesity group ($66.63{\pm}0.74ng/dL$). In conclusion, BMI and waist measurement are positively associated with the PTH levels in Korean adults.

50세 이상 한국 성인에서 비만과 부갑상샘호르몬의 관련성 -2011 국민건강영양조사에 근거하여

본 연구는 국가자료인 2011년도 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 50세 이상 성인에서 비만이 PTH에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 실시하였다. 조사 참여자수는 8,518명이었고, 이중 50세 이상 성인 3,305명을 최종분석 대상자로 하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 PTH 평균값에 영향을 주는 관련변수(연령, 성별, SBP, DBP, 25(OH)D)를 보정 후, 정상군 (BMI, < $23.0kg/m^2$; $66.25{\pm}0.89ng/dL$)에 비하여 과체중군(BMI, $23.0-24.9kg/m^2$; $67.83{\pm}1.07 ng/dL$), 비만군(BMI,${\geq}25.0kg/m^2$; $70.71{\pm}0.94ng/dL$)의 PTH 평균값이 유의하게 증가하였고(p=0.003), Non-abdominal obesity군($66.63{\pm}0.74ng/dL$)에 비하여 Abdominal obesity군($69.30{\pm}0.80ng/dL$)의 PTH 평균값이 증가하였다(p=0.017). 결론적으로 비만과 복부비만은 PTH의 증가와 관련이 있다.
