Background: The menopausal transition has been associated with a heightened risk of cardiometabolic complications, including new onset diabetes mellitus (NODM). Statin-use increases the NODM-risk in the general population, however, their impact on NODM-risk specifically in postmenopausal populations has not been adequately studied.
Objectives: To estimate the effect of statin-use at baseline on the risk of NODM in postmenopausal women.
Methods: The PALLADIA study, a large prospective cohort, consists of middle-aged women assessed in the Menopause Clinic of Aretaieio Hospital, Athens Greece. All women were reviewed for symptoms related to menopause and followed-up (FU) annually based on their risk factors. We included 473 postmenopausal women (median duration of FU, 10 years).
Results: The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors at baseline and FU were as follows: smoking 26% vs 19.4%, diabetes mellitus 3% vs 9.9%, hypertension (HTN) 22.4% vs 29.6%, dyslipidemia 30.9% vs 46.9%, statin-use 16.7% vs 34.2%. NODM was identified in 38 women, while NODM±impaired fasting glycaemia was found in 44 women. The use of statin at baseline increased the risk for NODM in the univariable analysis (OR=3.58, 95%CI: 1.74–7.37); multivariable analysis showed that NODM-risk was associated with statin use at baseline (OR=4.5, 95%CI, 1.67–12.11) adjusted for age, BMI, HTN, smoking. The combination of statin-use/BMI was associated with a higher risk for NODM±hyperglycemia (OR=4.63, 95% CI, 1.80–11.90).
Conclusions: Our results indicate that the NODM-risk attibuted to the use of statins in the Greek cohort of PALLADIA is higher compared to the risk reported in previous studies. Amidst traditional cardiovascular risk factors, baseline BMI appears to be the factor mostly related with the future risk for dysglycemia. Further research is required to explore the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying these observations.
