Aims/hypothesis The aim of this work was to assess the association of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), measured by skin autofluorescence (SAF), with prevalent heart failure, and with systolic and diastolic cardiac function, in a large population-based cohort study. Methods We assessed the cross-sectional association between SAF and prevalent heart failure among 2426 participants from the population-based Rotterdam Study, using logistic regression. Next, among individuals free of heart failure ( N =2362), we examined the link between SAF (on a continuous scale) and echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function using linear regressions. Analyses were adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Results Higher levels of SAF were associated with higher odds of prevalent heart failure (multivariable adjusted OR 2.90 95% CI 1.80, 4.62 for one unit higher SAF value). Among individuals without heart failure, one unit increase in SAF was associated with 0.98% lower LV ejection fraction (mean difference β −0.98% 95% CI −1.45%, −0.50%). The association was stronger among participants with diabetes (β −1.84% 95% CI −3.10%, −0.58% and β −0.78% 95% CI −1.29%, −0.27% among participants with and without diabetes, respectively). Associations of SAF with diastolic function parameters were not apparent, except in men with diabetes. Conclusions/interpretation AGE accumulation was independently associated with prevalent heart failure. Among individuals free of heart failure, AGEs were associated with cardiac function, in particular systolic function. This association was present in participants with and without diabetes and was more prominent in those with diabetes. Graphical abstract
