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 strati ed analysis were applied to analyze the relationship between antibiotic exposure and dysglycemia risk. We observed that sulfaclozine exposure 0.07 (95% con dence interval [CI]: 0.01-0.23) signi cantly 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) signi cantly 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.
