The Relationship

ObjectiveAlthough fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, the relationship between FGF23 and cardiovascular disease has not been well characterized in the general population. The aim of this study was to determine whether serum FGF23 is independently associated with cardiovascular disease in older community-dwelling women.Design and methodsA cross-sectional design was used to examine the relationship between serum FGF23 and cardiovascular disease. The subjects consisted of a population-based sample of 659 women, aged 70–79 years, who participated in the Women's Health and Aging Studies in Baltimore, Maryland. Prevalent cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, and peripheral artery disease) was assessed through diagnostic algorithms and physician adjudication.ResultsOf the 659 women, 185 (28.1%) had cardiovascular disease. Median (25th, 75th percentile) intact serum FGF23 was 34.6 (25.2, 46.2) pg/ml. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the lowest, middle, and highest tertile of serum FGF23 was 22.6, 24.9, and 36.7% respectively (P=0.002). Serum log FGF23 was associated with cardiovascular disease (odds ratio per 1s.d.increase=1.23, 95% confidence interval 1.17, 1.30;P<0.0001) in a multivariable logistic regression model, adjusting for age, race, smoking, education, body mass index, cognition, diabetes, hypertension, physical activity, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and renal function.ConclusionElevated serum FGF23 concentrations are independently associated with prevalent cardiovascular disease in older community-dwelling women. Further studies are needed to elucidate the potential biological mechanisms by which FGF23 may be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease.

The Relationship

The relationship between soluble Klotho (s-Klotho) levels, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels, and albuminuria in patients with diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. A total of 109 patients with type 2 diabetes (mean age 61.63±9.77 years), at the outpatient clinic of the Antalya Research and Training Hospital Nephrology Unit between January and June 2014, as well as 32 healthy controls (mean age 49.53±7.32 years) were enrolled for this cross-sectional study. Patients were classified into three groups according to their urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR), normoalbuminuria (UACR<30 mg/g), microalbuminuria (UACR 30–300 mg/g), and macroalbuminuria (UACR>300 mg/g). The blood was analyzed for FGF23, s-Klotho, parathyroid hormone (PTH), P, Ca, creatinine, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25hD) levels. Creatinine, s-Klotho, FGF23, and PTH levels were significantly higher and 25hD levels were significantly lower in the patient group than in the healthy controls (p<0.001). Between the groups according to UACR, 1-way analysis of variance revealed statistically significant differences for creatinine (p<0.001), 25hD (p<0.001), PTH (p=0.002), Ca (p=0.002), and albumin levels (p<0.001). A statistically significant positive correlation was found between s-Klotho and FGF23 (r=0.768; p=0.001), and between FGF23 levels and UACR (r=0.768; p=0.001). In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that s-Klotho levels are significantly elevated in patients with diabetes and s-Klotho levels decreased with increasing albumin excretion in our patients despite a reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate.

Background Higher circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) associates with greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in older adults. The association of FGF23 with cardiovascular outcomes in younger populations has been incompletely explored. Methods and Results We measured C‐terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) and intact FGF23 (iFGF23) in 3151 middle‐aged adults (mean age, 45±4) who participated in the year 20 examination of the CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study. We used separate Cox proportional hazards models to examine the associations of cFGF23 and iFGF23 with incident CVD and mortality, adjusting models sequentially for sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory factors. A total of 157 incident CVD events and 135 deaths occurred over a median 7.6 years of follow‐up (interquartile range, 4.1–9.9). In fully adjusted models, there were no statistically significant associations of FGF23 with incident CVD events (hazard ratio per doubling of cFGF23: 1.14, 95%CI 0.97,1.34; iFGF23: 0.76, 95%CI 0.57,1.02) or all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio per doubling of cFGF23, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.00–1.38; iFGF23, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.64–1.17). In analyses stratified by CVD subtypes, higher cFGF23 was associated with greater risk of heart failure hospitalization (hazard ratio per doubling of cFGF23, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.18–1.96) but not coronary heart disease or stroke, whereas iFGF23 was not associated with CVD subtypes in any model. Conclusions In middle‐aged adults with few comorbidities, higher cFGF23 and iFGF23 were not independently associated with greater risk of CVD events or death. Higher cFGF23 was independently associated with greater risk of heart failure hospitalization.

Background: Elevated serum fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), an endogenous hormone, is associated with endothelial dysfunction, chronic kidney disease, arterial wall stiffness, and inflammation. These factors may contribute to an increased risk of hypertension. To date, the association of FGF23 with incident hypertension has not been examined. Hypothesis: Elevated serum FGF23 will be positively associated with risk of incident hypertension. Methods: The ARIC study measured intact FGF23 in stored serum from 7,948 middle-aged men and women without hypertension at baseline (1990-92). Participants were examined during two follow-up visits, in 1993-95 and 1996-98. Incident hypertension was determined by measured blood pressure (DBP 90 mm Hg, or SBP140 mm Hg) and/or hypertension medication use during the follow-up exams. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models and complementary log-log models were used to adjust for potential confounding variables. Results: During a median follow-up of 5.9 years, 27% (2,152/7,948) participants developed hypertension. A nonlinear association between serum FGF23 and incident hypertension was observed; only the highest decile of serum FGF23 was positively associated with incident hypertension (Table). After adjustment for demographics, the hazard ratio for incident hypertension was 1.37 (95% CI: 1.17, 1.60) for the highest decile of FGF23 compared to the lowest quintile. After adjustment for behaviors and adiposity the HR was 1.25 (95% CI: 1.07, 1.46). The association was further attenuated in the final model after adjusting for renal function (HR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.41). Complementary log-log models that accounted for interval censoring did not alter results. Conclusions: High levels ( 60.6 pg/mL) of FGF23 are associated with a modestly increased risk of incident hypertension in the general population. Next steps include replication of these findings in other cohorts, and examining the association with a longer follow-up period.

Objective: To investigate the association of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risk in the general population. Methods: We evaluated 3,236 Framingham Offspring and Omni Study participants to examine the associations of serum FGF23 (measured by immunoassay) with 10-year incident CVD (N = 2,823) and all-cause mortality (N = 3,223) using multivariable Cox regression models. Results: During a median follow-up time of 10.8 years (Q1, 10.0; Q3, 11.4), 347 participants developed new-onset CVD and 412 died. Age- and sex-adjusted Cox regression models revealed a positive association of FGF23 with incident CVD (hazard ratio (HR) per unit increase in logFGF23: 1.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11-1.84) and all-cause mortality (HR 2.26, 95% CI, 1.86-2.75). After multivariable adjustment, the association of FGF23 with incident CVD was rendered non-significant (HR 1.12, 95% CI 0.86-1.46), whereas the positive association of FGF23 with all-cause mortality was maintained (HR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.52 - 2.29). Analyses modeling FGF23 quartiles yielded similar findings (multivariable-adjusted HR Q4 vs. Q1 for incident CVD: 1.17, 95% CI: 0.87 - 1.59; for death: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.38 - 2.53). Conclusion: In our large community-based sample, serum FGF23 shows an independent positive association with all-cause mortality, but not with incident CVD risk.
