Is there a relationship between blood lipids and lumbar disc herniation in young Turkish adults?

Abstract: IntroductionAtherosclerosis might diminish the nutrient supply to intervertebral discs (IVD), leading to disc herniation. Therefore, there is interest in determining the possible association between the blood lipid profile and lumbar disc herniation (LDH). We aimed to evaluate the association between blood lipids and LDH in a homogeneous group of patients, controlling for age- and sex-specific effects.Material and methodsThis is a case-control study which consisted of 100 individuals (mean age: 41.25 ±9.09; 50… Show more

“…A Finnish study performed by Leino-Arjas [12] et al identified a positive correlation between higher levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and sciatica. Several studies further demonstrated that triglycerides (TG) and TC were related to the severity of low back pain and symptomatic IDH [13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…The main mechanisms of diabetes promoting IDD are as follows: when cells are exposed to high glucose, their internal glucose homeostasis is disturbed, which impedes glucose metabolism and affects energy metabolism 16 . High glucose leads to hardening of intervertebral disc endplate cartilage and narrowing of internal microvessels, which reduces the nutrient supply of nucleus pulposus cells and the e ciency of substance exchange with the external environment of cells 17 . A high glucose environment can mediate and accelerate cell aging, impair mitochondrial function, lead to the accumulation of oxidative stress products, and eventually cause apoptosis of intervertebral disc cells.…”

“…The frequency of comorbid diseases increases at advanced ages, but their roles in LSS etiology are uncertain. Arterial calcification and atherosclerosis diseases, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, are considered as risk factors not only for coronary artery diseases but also for spinal degenerative diseases, and their roles in the etiology of low back pain and intervertebral disc herniation have been the subject of many studies in the past years [12][13][14] .…”

“…However, in this study, patients are older, and gender distribution is uneven, which reduces the reliability of this study. Menopause and estrogen are hormonal factors that affect blood lipid profile [13,15] . To eliminate the effects of gender on blood lipid profiles, two homogeneous groups of men and women were included in our study.…”
