Abstract EN
Osteopontin (OPN) is involved in the regulation of vascular calcification processes.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between fasting serum OPN concentration and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) in geriatric persons.
Fasting blood samples were obtained from 93 geriatric persons.
cfPWV were performed by SphygmoCor system.
Serum OPN levels were measured using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Geriatric adults who had diabetes (P=0.007) or dyslipidemia (P=0.029) had higher cfPWV levels than those without diabetes or dyslipidemia.
The univariable linear regression analysis showed that age (P=0.002), waist circumference (P=0.048), body mass index (P=0.004), systolic blood pressure (P=0.001), diastolic blood pressure (P=0.036), pulse pressure (P=0.017), creatinine (P=0.002), and log-OPN level (P=0.001) were positively correlated with cfPWV levels, while the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) level (P=0.007) and glomerular filtration rate (P=0.001) were negatively correlated with cfPWV levels among the geriatric adults.
Multivariable forward stepwise linear regression analysis of the significant variables also showed that log-OPN (β=0.233, R2=0.123, regression coefficient: 1.868, P=0.011) was still an independent predictor of cfPWV levels in geriatric persons.
