Circulating IGFBP-3 and Interleukin 6 as Predictors of Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women: A Cross-Sectional Study

Objective. To explore the relationship between circulating IGFBP-3, IL-6, and bone mineral density and the potential diagnostic role of circulating IGFBP-3 and IL-6 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Methods. Eighty-five postmenopausal women at Soochow University’s First Affiliated Hospital,...

description Objective. To explore the relationship between circulating IGFBP-3, IL-6, and bone mineral density and the potential diagnostic role of circulating IGFBP-3 and IL-6 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Methods. Eighty-five postmenopausal women at Soochow University’s First Affiliated Hospital, Osteoporosis and Menopause Clinics, were recruited. Forty-five of 85 women were diagnosed with osteoporosis. Circulating IL-6, PTH, 1,25(OH)2D3, osteocalcin (OST), IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) were measured in 40 ordinary and 45 osteoporotic women. A simple regression analysis calculated the correlation between age, BMD, IL-6, and IGFBP-3. Multiple stepwise regression analyses were conducted to determine which variables were independently related to BMD. The potential role of IGFBP-3 and IL-6 in the diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis was predicted using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC, AUC). Results. Age, years since menopause, and circulating IL-6, PTH, and IGFBP-3 were significantly higher in the osteoporosis group compared to the normal group. Osteoporotic women had substantially lower BMDs of the LS and FN than normal women. Age-related increases were found for IGFBP-3 and IL-6, whereas age-related decreases were observed for LS/FN BMD. IGFBP-3 and IL-6 were both negatively correlated with LS and FN BMD. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that IGFBP-3 and IL-6 were strong predictors of BMD in postmenopausal women. AUC cut-off values (IGFBP-3: 3.65, IL-6: 0.205) were best evaluated for the diagnosis of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, and the AUC for circulating IGFBP-3 and IL-6 were 0.706 (95% CI 0.594–0.818) and 0.685 (95% CI 0.571–0.798), respectively. Conclusion. In this cross-sectional study of postmenopausal women, IGFBP-3 and IL-6 were negatively related to BMD. Circulating IGFBP-3 and IL-6 might be essential predictors of postmenopausal osteoporosis and can help predict osteoporotic fracture.
