Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the role of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level as a risk factor in predicting metabolic syndrome (MS), hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary heart disease. We prospectively evaluated 1270 men and 1320 women, aged 30 to 89 years, who had serum CRP determinations and a mean 4.3 years' follow-up. The CRP values were log-transformed for calculations. Metabolic syndrome was defined by the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria modified for male abdominal obesity. Prediction of outcome was performed by excluding from analysis the particular outcome variable existing at baseline examination. Smoking men had higher age-adjusted estimated CRP concentrations (P < .001), whereas smoking women had lower CRP (P = .027) than never smokers. Risk of developing an elevated (> or =2 mg/L) CRP was predicted significantly by baseline CRP in both sexes and by apolipoprotein (apo B), current smoking, and family income in men, when adjusted for 5 further variables. Baseline CRP levels predicted atherogenic dyslipidemia when adjusted for age, baseline dyslipidemia values, and apo B tertiles and predicted incident hypertension independent of age, waist circumference, and smo...Continue Reading
