Association of urinary @entity1372 / XXXX ratio with @entity79 in postmenopausal @entity1 : KNHANES 2008-2011.

@entity1 @entity170 @entity1372 @entity79 @entity460 @entity1011 @entity2827
UNASSIGNED: Accumulating evidence shows that high @entity2827 intake increases urinary @entity460 excretion and may be a risk factor for @entity170 . However, the effect of oral @entity2827 intake on @entity79 ( @entity79 ) and risk of @entity170 has been inadequately researched. The aim of the present study was to determine whether urinary @entity1372 excretion (reflecting oral @entity2827 intake) associates with @entity79 and prevalence of @entity170 in postmenopausal @entity1 . This cross-sectional study involved a nationally representative sample consisting of 2,779 postmenopausal @entity1 who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys in 2008-2011. The association of urinary @entity1372 / @entity1011 ratio with @entity79 and other @entity170 risk factors was assessed. In addition, the prevalence of @entity170 was assessed in four groups with different urinary @entity1372 / @entity1011 ratios. @entity1 with @entity170 had significantly higher urinary @entity1372 / @entity1011 ratios than the @entity1 without @entity170 . After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, urinary @entity1372 / @entity1011 ratio correlated inversely with lumbar spine @entity79 (P  =  0.001). Similarly, when @entity1 were divided into quartile groups according to urinary @entity1372 / @entity1011 ratio, the average @entity79 dropped as the urinary @entity1372 / @entity1011 ratio increased. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that compared to quartile 1, quartile 4 had a significantly increased prevalence of lumbar spine @entity170 (odds ratios 1.346, P for trend  =  0.044). High urinary @entity1372 excretion was significantly associated with low @entity79 and high prevalence of @entity170 in lumbar spine. These results suggest that high @entity2827 intake decreases lumbar spine @entity79 and increases the risk of @entity170 in postmenopausal @entity1 .
