摘要

Background

Previous studies have proven the relationship between frailty and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). However, the potential mechanisms need to be further explored. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of lipid accumulation products (LAP) in the relationship between frailty and MACCE.

Methods

This study recruited 7901 participants aged 45 and above from wave 2011 and 2018 of the China Longitudinal Study of Health and Retirement (CHARLS). Logistic regression models were employed to examine the relationship between frailty and MACCE and the mediating effects of LAP, using the bootstrap method to confirm path effects.

Results

Frailty group presented the highest risk of MACCE (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03–1.10). Frailty directly impacted MACCE (β = 0.045, P = 0.007). Frailty had a significant effect on LAP (β = 12.21, P < 0.01), while LAP had a significant impact on MACCE (β = 11.14, p = 0.014). The mediation effect of LAP accounted for 1.7% of the total effect regarding the frailty with MACCE.

Conclusion

LAP mediate the relationship between frailty and MACCE. Our findings suggest that instructing frailty patients to have a reasonable diet and exercise to control LAP at a low level may be an effective measure to reduce MACCE.
