Abstract
Abstract
Background
Despite an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been reported to be associated with a higher risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes (T2D), the comprehensive evaluation of the dose-response relationship between PTH and hypertension and T2D remains ambiguous. Therefore, a dose-response meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively investigate this association.
Methods
PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were systematically searched up to May 2023. Random-effect models were used to estimate the summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic splines were used to model the dose-response association.
Results
Ten articles (including 13 studies) were identified, with a total of 11,878 cases and 51,234 participants in the meta-analysis. Of these studies, eight (five cohort and three cross-sectional) studies investigated the association of PTH with hypertension; five (two cohort and three cross-sectional) studies assessed the association of PTH with T2D. The results showed a positive relationship between PTH and the risk of hypertension (OR,1.24, 95% CI: 1.16–1.33). We found a linear association between PTH and hypertension (Pnon−linearity= 0.222). In the dose-response analysis, the risk of hypertension increased 5% for every 10 pg/ml increase in PTH (OR,1.05, 95% CI: 1.02–1.08). The pooled OR of T2D risk for a 10 pg/ml increase in PTH was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.98–1.02).
Conclusions
Elevated PTH is associated with an increased risk of hypertension. However, the evidence of the association between PTH and T2D is limited, and more well-designed studies need to be explored.
