Biomarkers of inflammation predict both vascular and non-vascular mortality in older men.
AIMS To compare the predictive value of inflammatory biomarkers and lipids for vascular and non-vascular mortality in older men. METHODS AND RESULTS The relevance of inflammatory biomarkers and lipids for vascular and non-vascular mortality was assessed in a prospective study of 5360 men (mean age 77 years) followed for 7 years. Vascular mortality was positively associated with log C-reactive...
متن کاملInflammation and Vascular Calcification Causing Effects of Oxidized HDL are Attenuated by Adiponectin in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
The role of oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) and the protective effects of adiponectin in terms of vascular calcification is not well established. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oxHDL with regards to inflammation and vascular calcification and to determine the protective role of adiponectin in attenuating the detrimental effects of oxHDL. Cell viability, mineral...
متن کاملInflammation biomarkers and near-term death in older men.
Associations of C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen with death may weaken over time. Combining both markers may improve prediction of death in older adults. In 5,828 Cardiovascular Health Study participants (United States, 1989-2000), 383 deaths (183 cardiovascular disease (CVD)) in years 1-3 (early) and 914 deaths (396 CVD) in years 4-8 (late) occurred. For men, when comparing highest to l...
متن کاملLong Non-Coding RNAs in Vascular Inflammation
Less than 2% of the genome encodes for proteins. Accumulating studies have revealed a diverse set of RNAs derived from the non-coding genome. Among them, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have garnered widespread attention over recent years as emerging regulators of diverse biological processes including in cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, our knowledge of their mechanisms by which they contr...
متن کاملBlood Pressure and Vascular Disease in Older Men (page 1053)
Few prospective studies have specifically investigated the effect of blood pressure on vascular risk at older age, and particularly in the elderly (such as those aged ≥85 years). In this issue of Hypertension, we report findings from an Australian prospective cohort study of 7564 men aged 65 to 94 years. During a mean follow-up of 11 years, there were 1557 major vascular events. Continuous log-...
