Typical antibiotic exposure and dysglycemia risk in an elderly Chinese population

2022

Studies examined the connection between antibiotic exposure in urine and dysglycemia risk (including prediabetes and diabetes) in the elderly were limited. Multiple linear regression, binary logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS), and stratified analysis were applied to analyze the relationship between antibiotic exposure and dysglycemia risk. We observed that sulfaclozine exposure 0.07 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.01–0.23) significantly increased fasting blood glucose (FBG) level. By mechanism, usage, and antimicrobial action, sulfonamides 0.08 (95% CI: 0.06–0.36), veterinary antibiotics (VA) 0.07 (95% CI: 0.01–0.30), or bacteriostatic antibiotics 0.07 (95% CI: 0.02–0.29) significantly increased FBG level. Additionally, sulfaclozine exposure 1.54 (95% CI: 1.02–2.33) resulted in a higher dysglycemia risk, while doxycycline exposure 0.53 (95% CI: 0.30–0.95) resulted in a lower dysglycemia risk. By mechanism, usage, and antimicrobial action, sulfonamides 1.44 (95% CI: 1.02–2.04), VA 1.68 (95% CI: 1.21–2.35), or bacteriostatic antibiotics 1.40 (95% CI: 1.02–1.93) exposure had a higher dysglycemia risk. Taken together, exposure to sulfonamides, VA, especially sulfaclozine, was correlated with a higher dysglycemia risk in the elderly. Exposure to bacteriostatic antibiotics was associated with a higher dysglycemia risk in the female.
