Abstract

Abstract: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) level is the protective factor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In addition, anaemia is a risk factor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in women. However, there are limited data about the association between NAD + and anaemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate association of NAD + with anaemia among women. A total of 727 females from Jidong community were included in the current analysis. NAD + levels were tested by the cycling assay and HPLC assay using whole blood samples. Anaemia was determined by haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, and the subtypes of anaemia were further defined according to mean corpuscular volume (MCV) in blood. Multivariable logistic analysis was used to analyse the association between NAD + levels and anaemia or its subtypes. The mean age of recruited subjects was 42.7 years. The proportion of anaemia by NAD + levels quartiles were 19.7% (35/178), 4.8% (9/189), 3.4% (6/178) and 2.7% (5/182). Haematological parameters including haemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and red blood count (RBC) increased over NAD + quartiles. Red cell volume distribution width (RDW) decreased over NAD + quartiles. Compared with the lowest quartile of NAD + levels (<27.6μM), the adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals of the top quartile were 0.15 (0.06–0.41) for anaemia, 0.05 (0.01–0.36) for microcytic anaemia and 0.37 (0.10–1.36) for normocytic anaemia respectively. Higher NAD + levels were significantly associated with lower prevalence of anaemia among women, especially microcytic anaemia and normocytic anaemia. Haematological parameters might serve as a predictor of the blood NAD + levels.
