Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) and microalbuminuria are nowadays considered markers of chronic inflammation of the arterial wall and of endothelial dysfunction, respectively. An increase of CRP levels and of urinary albumin excretion (UAE) rate have both been reported to be independently associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general population. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible correlation between UAE and CRP concentrations in overweight and obese premenopausal women. A cross-sectional study in a primary care setting. CRP levels and UAE rate were measured in 103 overweight and obese premenopausal women, aged 18-45 years. Other measurements included: central fat accumulation, as evaluated by waist circumference, insulin resistance, as calculated by homeostatic model assessment (HOMAIR); fat-free mass (FFM), as measured by bioimpedance analysis; blood pressure; and fasting plasma levels of glucose, insulin, and lipids. Urinary albumin excretion was positively correlated with body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.01), waist circumference (P < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.01), triglycerides (P < 0.01), HOMAIR (P < 0.05), and CRP levels (P < 0.05); and negatively associate...Continue Reading
