ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Current evidence regarding iron status and mortality risk among patients with diabetes is limited. This study aimed to evaluate association of iron indices with all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk among patients with diabetes.METHODS:
The current study included 2080 (with ferritin data), 1974 (with transferrin saturation (Tsat) data), and 1106 (with soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) data) adults with diabetes from NHANES 1999-2018. Death outcomes were obtained from National Death Index through December 31, 2019. Cox proportional hazards models were employed to calculate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for mortality.RESULTS:
Association with all-cause mortality was demonstrated to be J-shaped for serum ferritin (Pnonlinearity < 0.01), U-shaped for Tsat (Pnonlinearity < 0.01) and linear for sTfR (Plinearity < 0.01). Ferritin 300-500 ng/mL possessed lower all-cause mortality risk than ferritin ≤ 100 ng/mL, 100-300 ng/mL, and > 500 ng/mL. Tsat 25-32 % showed a protective effect on all-cause mortality risk compared with Tsat ≤ 20 %, 20-25 %, and > 32 %. Individuals with sTfR < 4 mg/L were associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality than those with higher sTfR.CONCLUSIONS:
Moderate levels of serum ferritin (300-500 ng/mL), Tsat (25 %-32 %) and a lower concentration of sTfR (< 4 mg/L) identified adults with diabetes with lower all-cause mortality risk, adding novel modifiers to diabetes management.Palabras clave
