ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Hiatus hernia (HH) is prevalent in adults with pulmonary fibrosis. We hypothesised that HH would be associated with markers of lung inflammation and fibrosis among community-dwelling adults and stronger among MUC5B (rs35705950) risk allele carriers.METHODS:
In the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, HH was assessed from cardiac and full-lung computed tomography (CT) scans performed at Exam 1 (2000-2002, n=3342) and Exam 5 (2010-2012, n=3091), respectively. Percentage of high attenuation areas (HAAs; percentage of voxels with attenuation between -600 and -250â HU) was measured from cardiac and lung scans. Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) were examined from Exam 5 scans (n=2380). Regression models were used to examine the associations of HH with HAAs, ILAs and serum matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), and adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, smoking, height, weight and scanner parameters for HAA analysis.RESULTS:
HH detected from Exam 5 scans was associated with a mean percentage difference in HAAs of 2.23% (95% CI 0.57-3.93%) and an increase of 0.48% (95% CI 0.07-0.89%) per year, particularly in MUC5B risk allele carriers (p-value for interaction=0.02). HH was associated with ILAs among those <80â years of age (OR for ILAs 1.78, 95% CI 1.14-2.80) and higher serum MMP-7 level among smokers (p-value for smoking interaction=0.04).CONCLUSIONS:
HH was associated with more HAAs over time, particularly among MUC5B risk allele carriers, and ILAs in younger adults, and may be a risk factor in the early stages of interstitial lung disease.
