Objective:The presence of low-grade albuminuria (LGA) suggested that the pathophysiology of vascular dysfunction has been initiated. Clear evidence supports a role for osteocalcin in energy metabolism and a great incidence of pathological cardiovascular changes. The observational community-based study aims to examine the association of osteocalcin with LGA, which may provide new insight into potential involvement of osteocalcin in cardiovascular diseases.Methods:A total of 1951 adults [58.37 (53.34–63.13) years, 41.3% men] from Shanghai were enrolled. LGA was defined as a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) < 30 mg/g. Serum osteocalcin was measured using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.Results:Serum osteocalcin level in men decreased with increasing UACR after adjusting for potential covariates (p= 0.045); however, the adjusted association disappeared in women (p= 0.258). Linear regression analysis showed that osteocalcin was a negative variable of UACR in men (standardizedβ= −0.074,p= 0.030), particularly prominent in non-hyperglycemic, non-hypertensive men, even regardless of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (60 ≤ eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2, standardizedβ=−0.422,p= 0.004; ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, standardizedβ= −0.167,p= 0.037).Conclusion:After controlling for confounders, serum osteocalcin level was independently associated with LGA in men, which suggested that osteocalcin was closely related with atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction.
