Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between atherosclerotic progression rate as measured by carotid artery IMT during very long-term follow-up in clinically healthy men and a number of baseline risk factors of potential importance for atherosclerosis progression including apoA-I, apoB, apoB/apoA-I ratio, other lipid variables including LDL particle size, body composition variables, blood pressure, smoking, fasting blood glucose and insulin, and also hsCRP. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is associated with increased carotid IMT progression rate during long-term follow-up, whereas the relationship between newer biomarkers such as apoB/apoA-I ratio and carotid artery IMT progression rate has been less investigated. 58-year-old men identified by screening in the community (n=391) with varying degrees of obesity and insulin sensitivity were examined with high-resolution B-mode ultrasound at baseline and after 3, and 8.9 years of follow-up (n=305 investigated after 8.9 years). The carotid arteries were examined bilaterally, and the mean intima-thickness was calculated for 10mm sections of the composite of common carotid arteries and bulbs (IMT(composite)). Serum levels of apoB and apoA-I were measured usin...Continue Reading
