Using NHANES 2005–2018 data (n=22,654 adults with available biological-age and asthma/COPD information), this study estimated biological aging with three methods (Klemera-Doubal method, phenotypic age, and homeostatic dysregulation) and two acceleration metrics, then assessed associations with asthma–COPD overlap (ACO) using weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic splines. Phenotypic age was positively associated with ACO incidence, and phenotypic age acceleration was also associated with higher ACO prevalence, with these relationships persisting after adjustment for demographic characteristics. The study’s key caveat is that it is based on NHANES observational data and defines ACO using prior diagnostic criteria rather than directly measured biological mechanisms. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract BACKGROUND Aging is an important factor in the pathogenesis of various respiratory diseases, and biological aging can better reflect the systemic functional status of individual organisms. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between biological aging and Asthma-COPD Overlap (ACO) ,and to explore its potential causal relationship. METHODS The present study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), spanning from 2005 to 2018. Three biological ages [Klemera-Doubal method (KDM), phenotypic age (PhenoAge) and homeostatic dysregulation (HD)] and two measures of biological acceleration of aging (BioAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel) were selected as the main exposure factors for analysis. Weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic spline regression were used to analyze the association between biological aging and ACO. RESULTS In our study, phenotypic age was positively associated with the incidence of ACO, and the degree of phenotypic age acceleration was also a risk factor for ACO prevalence. After further adjustment for demographic characteristics, both remained an important risk factor for ACO. CONCLUSION This study provides some evidence for the association of biological aging in the development of ACO. In addition, preventive strategies targeting aging have a potential role in reducing the risk of ACO.

Asthma-COPD Overlap Biological age Aging NHANES Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 1 Introduction Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two common respiratory diseases of the respiratory system, the etiology of their onset is not the same, and the clinical manifestations of the two are also different. Clinically, asthma is usually associated with airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation, and patients often experience wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough 1 . In contrast, COPD is often caused by airway lesions and / or alveolar lesions caused by smoking, and is characterized by persistent ( often progressive ) airflow limitation, which is characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms ( wheezing, cough, and increased expectoration ) 2 . And in 2015 by the GINA report and GOLD report together proposed to suggest that patients with concurrent airway hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation, and airflow limitation can be seen clinically, and defined this group of patients with both asthma and COPD as asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary overlap (ACO) syndrome 3 . Although the GOLD report in 2021 recommended to stop using the name 'ACO ' 4 , ACO as a medical condition or feature is still a clinical problem. In addition, ACO patients have worse quality of life, and the acute exacerbation of related symptoms is more frequent 5 .Due to the aggravation of symptoms, the use rate of respiratory drugs, admission rate and mortality are higher 6 , 7 .Therefore, this type of patients need more attention in clinical practice. Aging, as one of the pathogenic factors that has been of continuous concern, has been associated with a variety of respiratory diseases in terms of its severity, and an increase in age often implies a decline in lung function and structural changes 8 . However, under certain conditions, the degree of frailty of the body cannot be reasonably described by age alone. Therefore, this study assessed the degree of aging by measuring biological age through three calculation methods, which were Klemera-Doubal method (KDM), PhenoAge and homeostatic dysregulation (HD). In addition, BioAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel were introduced to further clarify the degree of individual aging, BioAgeAccel is defined as the residual of the linear regression of KDM to age. Similarly, PhenoAgeAccel is the residual of the linear regression of PhenoAge to age. The positive value indicates accelerated aging, and the negative value indicates the opposite 9 – 11 .Previous studies have pointed out that the increase of age is accompanied by the increase of the risk of ACO, but no study has explored the association between biological age and ACO.Therefore, this study first explored the association between biological age and the risk of ACO by analyzing the data of nhanes 2005–2018 observational study 12 – 15 . In this study, the data of patients recruited in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ( NHANES ) were used to calculate the biological age and aging degree of the corresponding individuals as exposure, and multiple covariates were introduced to construct a complex model. Two methods of logistic regression and drawing restricted cubic spline curve were used to explore the relationship between aging and asthma-copd overlap, and the possible linear relationship between them. 2 Materials and Methods 2.1 Data Sources NHANES is a long-term, nationwide research project approved by the Research Ethics Review Committee of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to assess the health and nutritional status of Americansand, and all patients were recruited with an informed consent forms at the time of recruitment. Therefore, this study does not require additional ethical approval. A total of 70,190 participants were enrolled from 2005 through 2018. After excluding individuals younger than 18 years of age and those with incomplete or unreliable data on key variables such as biological age, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, our study included 22,654 eligible participants. Figure 1. For the remaining patients with missing values we used predictive mean matching (pmm) method to supplement the missing data. Figure 1 Participant selection process diagram for the NHANES study 2.2 Calculation of biological age The results of the three biological age measurement methods in this study were calculated using the “ bioage “ package developed based on r4.3.2, which introduced albumin, alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, lymphocyte percentage, mean cell volume, white blood cell count. Eleven variables including systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and hemoglobin A1C were calculated. In different years, the measurement methods of some biomarkers have changed, and these data have been normalized according to the changes of the methods 16 . 2.3 Definition of ACO in this study According to the diagnostic criteria of ACO in previous studies, patients who met the diagnosis of ACO in this study must meet the clinical manifestations of both COPD and asthma 17,18 . 2.3.1 Definition of COPD Based on previous studies 19,20 , patients who meet one of the following criteria can be defined as having COPD : 1) FEV1/FVC<0.7 after inhalation of bronchodilators ; 2) patients who answered "yes" when asked "Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that you had chronic bronchitis?" or "Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that you had emphysema?" ; 3) patients who answered “yes" when asked "Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that you had COPD?". 2.3.1 Definition of asthma When the patient answers “ yes ” when asked the following question, the patient can be defined as asthma : 1 ) “ Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that you have asthma ? ” ; 2 ) “ Do you still have asthma ? ” ; 3 ) “ In the past 12 months have you had wheezing or whistling in your chest ? ” 2.4 Covariates In this study, baseline covariates were primarily selected based on demographics, social factors, lifestyle habits, and comorbidities. In addition to demographic data such as gender, age, and race, social factors including household income, education level, and marital status were also taken into account. As part of the study, data on smoking and alcohol consumption behaviours were collected. Furthermore, variables related to medical comorbidities such as BMI, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidaemia were also collected. The definitions of relevant covariates can be found after Table 1. For patients with remaining missing values, we used predictive mean matching (PMM) to supplement the missing data. 2.5 Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis was conducted using R4.3.2 software. A weighted logistic regression model was utilised to explore the relationship between bioage and ACO. A restricted cubic spline analysis was employed to assess the non-linear relationship between COPD variables and bioage. Statistical significance was defined as a p-value less than 0.05. 3 Result 3.1 Baseline characteristics of NHANES participants A total of 22,654 subjects aged 18 years and above, with biological age and ACO data, participated in the analysis. Table 1 lists the general characteristics of the participants, including demographic factors, biological age and ACO prevalence. There were 1326 participants with ACO. Among them, 11033 were males and 11621 were females. The calendar ages of the ACO group and the non-ACO group were ( 53.77 ± 16.67 ) years and ( 49.46 ± 17.90 ) years, respectively. There were significant differences in age, gender, race, education level, marital status, poverty level, alcohol using, smoking, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes between ACO patients and non-ACO patients. In addition, compared with non-ACO patients, ACO patients had a higher biological age ( HD : 2.41 vs.2.20 ; kDM : 48.97 vs. 44.65 ; phenoAge : 52.69 vs. 46.95 ).Table 1.

After adjusting for age, gender and race ( model 1 ), we found that there was a significant association between biological aging and ACO. Adjusted educational level, marital status, ratio of family income to poverty, obesity, alcohol consumption, and cigarette use, the association between BioAgeAccel and the incidence of ACO became no longer significant, and the remaining results were consistent with the results of model 1 in the multivariate regression results of model 2. After further adjustment of the disease status in Model 3, it was found that HD, kdm, and bioageaccel were not significantly associated with the incidence of ACO. In model 3, for every 1 year increase in phenotypic age, the risk of ACO increased by 1 % ( OR 1.01,95 % CI 1.01-1.02, P<0.001 ). Acceleration of biological aging is defined as the residual error of the regression of biological age to calendar age, including BioAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel, where Phenoageaccel is associated with the onset of ACO. The acceleration of biological aging indicates that the biological age is older. Compared with PhenoAgeAccel-negative individuals, PhenoAgeAccel-positive individuals were 4 % more likely to develop ACO ( OR 1.04,95 % CI 1.02-1.05, p < 0.001 ).

In model3, higher phenotypic age ( Q4 ) and higher degree of phenotypic aging ( Q4 ) were more likely to cause ACO, with OR values of 2.33 ( 1.59-3.42,95 % CI ) and 1.64 ( 1.36-1.98,95 % CI ), respectively, and P trend was less than 0.001.In addition, lower kdm biological age acceleration ( Q2 ) could reduce the risk of ACO ( OR : 0.79 ( 0.67-0.93 ), 95 % CI ).Table 3 OR (95% CI) P value PhenoAgeAccel, (continuous) 1.04 (1.02-1.05) <0.001 PhenoAgeAccel, (quartile) Quartile 1 1(REF) Quartile 2 1.32 (1.09-1.59) 0.004 Quartile 3 1.40 (1.16-1.69) <0.001 Quartile 4 1.64 (1.36-1.98) <0.001 P trend <0.001 KdmAgeAccel, (continuous) 1.00 (0.99-1.00) 0.209 KdmAgeAccel, (quartile) Quartile 1 1(REF) Quartile 2 0.79 (0.67-0.93) 0.006 Quartile 3 0.97 (0.82-1.14) 0.714 Quartile 4 0.88 (0.74-1.04) 0.144 P trend 0.49 PhenoAge, (continuous) 1.01 (1.01-1.02) 0.001 PhenoAge, (quartile) Quartile 1 1(REF) Quartile 2 1.44 (1.14-1.83) 0.002 Quartile 3 1.79 (1.30-2.46) <0.001 Quartile 4 2.33 (1.59-3.42) <0.001 P trend <0.001 KdmAge, (continuous) 1.00 (0.99-1.00) 0.357 KdmAge, (quartile) Quartile 1 1(REF) Quartile 2 1.04 (0.85-1.27) 0.713 Quartile 3 1.06 (0.86-1.30) 0.599 Quartile 4 1.00 (0.80-1.26) 0.978 P trend 0.964 Table3 Associations of biological ages and accelerated biological aging with ACO (Quartile divided groups) 3.3 Restricted cubic spline regression analysis of the association between biological aging and ACO Figure2 shows that there is a significant nonlinear positive correlation between the age of the three organisms and ACO ( nonlinear P < 0.001 ). The odds ratio ( OR ) shows that when the HD value exceeds 1.97, it will gradually increase and slowly stabilize. Regarding the non-linear relationship between KDM and ACO, the figure shows that the risk of ACO increases rapidly in the lower range of KDM ( < 42.53 years old ). After KDM reached 42.53 years old, the rate of risk increase slowed down and gradually stabilized. In addition, the risk of ACO increased rapidly before the PhenoAge value reached about 46.39 years old, and then began to increase slowly and gradually entered the plateau period. The results of rcs analysis of BioAgeAccel accelerated biological aging were generally meaningless ( P-overall = 0.186 ). In addition, the results of rcs analysis of PhenoAgeAccel showed that there was a linear relationship between exposure and outcome ( P for nonlinear = 0.699 ), and the critical values of two kinds of accelerated biological aging were-5.33 and-2.69, respectively.

Continuously increasing age brings with it a continuous decline in lung function, changes in lung remodelling function, and a decrease in cellular regeneration 21 , and these changes imply an increase in the susceptibility to diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and interstitial fibrosis 8 , 22 , and therefore Age has long been regarded as an important predictor of respiratory diseases and a criterion for the development of management strategies, however, since individuals of the same age may show differences in health status due to different organic conditions (e.g., individuals who exercise regularly perform better than the average individual in lung function), compared with calendar age alone, the introduction of multiple indicators such as blood markers and the use of three methods of calculating the Therefore, compared with calendar age alone, biological age calculated by three methods using multiple blood markers and other indicators has a higher application value 23 – 26 .Wang and other researchers extracted and analysed data from 308,592 patients in the UK Biobank and concluded that PhenoAgeAccel was significantly associated with the risk of chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), as well as with the decline in lung function 27 . It has been similarly noted that biological age is associated with the incidence of several age-related diseases and that the calculation of biological age can be used for the prediction of age-related diseases 28 .ACO is recognised clinically by its common features with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and numerous patients are often incorrectly diagnosed with simple asthma or COPD by ignoring a symptom, with a consequent higher risk of exacerbation, greater burden of hospitalisation and medication, and higher mortality 13 , 29 – 32 . In this study, we found that patients with high calendar age, female, low education, poverty, higher body weight, possessing bad habits such as smoking and drinking, and comorbidities such as hypertension and hyperlipidaemia had a higher rate of ACO in terms of baseline data. In addition, after initial adjustment for sex, age, and race as covariates, we found that the biological age of the three calculations and the results of the two biological age accelerations were positively associated with ACO, and after adjusting for all covariates, the positive association between phenotypic age and phenotypic age acceleration and the prevalence of ACO remained, and quartile grouping showed that both high phenotypic age and higher phenotypic age aging were ACO These results suggest that higher phenotypic age may increase the probability of ACO, and the results of the restricted cubic spline regression analysis are consistent with those of the logistic regression. All these results suggest that biological age can be used as a meaningful indicator to predict the occurrence of ACO. However, our study also has some limitations. First, since the NHANES data were collected through a questionnaire, subjective judgement and recall bias of the respondents may have affected the results. In addition, the definition of ACO relied only on basic surveys rather than comprehensive measurements, which may have reduced the robustness of the results. Finally, the data for this study were obtained from the NHANES database, which is a cross-sectional study, and the dynamics of disease prevalence as well as changes in physical status of the same individuals over time were not available, so prospective studies are needed to further refine the validation. 5 Conclusion This study provides some evidence to prove the causal association of biological aging in the pathogenesis of ACO. The phenotypic age and accelerated phenotypic aging in this study have the potential to be used as predictors of ACO, and the prevention strategies for aging have a potential role in reducing the risk of ACO.

Clinically, asthma is usually associated with airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation, and patients often experience wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough \u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e. In contrast, COPD is often caused by airway lesions and / or alveolar lesions caused by smoking, and is characterized by persistent ( often progressive ) airflow limitation, which is characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms ( wheezing, cough, and increased expectoration )\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e. And in 2015 by the GINA report and GOLD report together proposed to suggest that patients with concurrent airway hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation, and airflow limitation can be seen clinically, and defined this group of patients with both asthma and COPD as asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary overlap (ACO) syndrome \u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e.

However, under certain conditions, the degree of frailty of the body cannot be reasonably described by age alone. Therefore, this study assessed the degree of aging by measuring biological age through three calculation methods, which were Klemera-Doubal method (KDM), PhenoAge and homeostatic dysregulation (HD). In addition, BioAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel were introduced to further clarify the degree of individual aging, BioAgeAccel is defined as the residual of the linear regression of KDM to age. Similarly, PhenoAgeAccel is the residual of the linear regression of PhenoAge to age.

After adjusting for age, gender and race ( model 1 ), we found that there was a significant association between biological aging and ACO. Adjusted educational level, marital status, ratio of family income to poverty, obesity, alcohol consumption, and cigarette use, the association between BioAgeAccel and the incidence of ACO became no longer significant, and the remaining results were consistent with the results of model 1 in the multivariate regression results of model 2. After further adjustment of the disease status in Model 3, it was found that HD, kdm, and bioageaccel were not significantly associated with the incidence of ACO. In model 3, for every 1 year increase in phenotypic age, the risk of ACO increased by 1 % ( OR 1.01,95 % CI 1.01-1.02, P\u0026lt;0.001 ). Acceleration of biological aging is defined as the residual error of the regression of biological age to calendar age, including BioAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel, where Phenoageaccel is associated with the onset of ACO. The acceleration of biological aging indicates that the biological age is older. Compared with PhenoAgeAccel-negative individuals, PhenoAgeAccel-positive individuals were 4 % more likely to develop ACO ( OR 1.04,95 % CI 1.02-1.05, p \u0026lt; 0.001 ).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ctable

Regarding the non-linear relationship between KDM and ACO, the figure shows that the risk of ACO increases rapidly in the lower range of KDM ( \u0026lt; 42.53 years old ). After KDM reached 42.53 years old, the rate of risk increase slowed down and gradually stabilized. In addition, the risk of ACO increased rapidly before the PhenoAge value reached about 46.39 years old, and then began to increase slowly and gradually entered the plateau period.

In addition, the results of rcs analysis of PhenoAgeAccel showed that there was a linear relationship between exposure and outcome ( P for nonlinear = 0.699 ), and the critical values of two kinds of accelerated biological aging were-5.33 and-2.69, respectively.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFigure 2.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between biological aging and Asthma-COPD Overlap (ACO) ,and to explore its potential causal relationship.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMETHODS\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), spanning from 2005 to 2018. Three biological ages [Klemera-Doubal method (KDM), phenotypic age (PhenoAge) and homeostatic dysregulation (HD)] and two measures of biological acceleration of aging (BioAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel) were selected as the main exposure factors for analysis. Weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic spline regression were used to analyze the association between biological aging and ACO.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRESULTS\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn our study, phenotypic age was positively associated with the incidence of ACO, and the degree of phenotypic age acceleration was also a risk factor for ACO prevalence. After further adjustment for demographic characteristics, both remained an important risk factor for ACO.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCONCLUSION\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study provides some evidence for the association of biological aging in the development of ACO. In addition, preventive strategies targeting aging have a potential role in reducing the risk of ACO.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Association between biological aging and Asthma-COPD overlap based on Nhanes 2005-2018","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-07-16 22:03:14","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4598620/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"173395ff-4d2d-4ae8-9123-2c30822152f7","owner":[],"postedDate":"July 16th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-01-23T13:23:12+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2024-07-16 22:03:14","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-4598620","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-4598620","identity":"rs-4598620","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"qtupq5eGEP_6zYnWcrvyt","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
