摘要

Background Little is known about the associations between cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) and disc degeneration (DD). Purpose To evaluate the potential association between CRFs and intervertebral DD in a population-based sample. Methods A total of 400 participants from the community-based KORA-study were assessed in terms of CRFs, specifically obesity, hypertension, diabetes, elevated LDL-c, low HDL-c, elevated triglycerides, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. The patients additionally underwent whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using T2-weighted single-shot fast-spin-echo and T1 dual-echo gradient-echo Dixon pulse sequences. Thoracic and lumbar DD were assessed using the Pfirrmann score and for the presence of disc bulging/protrusion. Cross-sectional associations between CRFs and MR-based Pfirrmann score were then analyzed. Results A total of 385 individuals (58.2 men; mean age 56.3 +/- 9.2 years) were included. Prevalence of DD was 76.4. Older age (beta = 0.18; 95 CI 0.12-0.25; P = 0.11) were associated with advanced DD. Disc bulging was independently associated with hypertension (beta = 0.47; 95 CI 0.27-0.81; P = 0.01). Conclusion A significant independent association exists between age, BMI, and intervertebral DD. In contrast, there is no significant association between cardiovascular risk factors and DD. Providing strong evidence that the pathologic process undergirding DD is mechanical, rather than microvascular, in nature.
