C-reactive protein: relation to total mortality, cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular risk factors in men.
BACKGROUND There is much interest in reported associations between serum C-reactive protein and incident ischaemic heart disease. It is uncertain what this association represents. We aimed to assess the effect of confounding from a number of different sources in the Caerphilly Prospective Heart Disease Study and in particular whether the low grade inflammation indicated by C-reactive protein ma...
متن کاملC-reactive protein, cardiovascular risk factors, and mortality in a prospective study in the elderly.
Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) reflects inflammation and predicts cardiovascular disease in middle-aged individuals. We investigated CRP, risk factors, and 10-year mortality in 3 elderly cohorts (aged 75, 80, and 85 years; n=455) of the population-based Helsinki Ageing Study. Clinical and laboratory examinations were performed at baseline, and in 1998, CRP was measured by a sensitive method (se...
متن کاملRelation of C-reactive protein to insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk factors in youth.
OBJECTIVE Insulin resistance and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are strongly correlated in adults. This study explored the relationship in youth. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Associations between CRP levels, cardiovascular risk, and insulin resistance measured by the euglycemic clamp were investigated in 342 healthy Minneapolis youth. RESULTS There was no difference in mean CRP levels among...
متن کاملPhysical activity in relation to cardiovascular disease and total mortality among men with type 2 diabetes.
BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to examine the relationship of physical activity with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality among men with type 2 diabetes. CVD risk and mortality are increased in type 2 diabetes. Few epidemiological studies have investigated the effect of physical activity on these outcomes among type 2 diabetics. METHODS AND RESULTS Of the 3058 men wh...
متن کاملRisk of Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality in Relation to Temperature
Introduction Extreme temperatures are consistently shown to have an effect on CVD-related mortality [1, 2]. A large multi-city study of mortality demonstrated a cold-day and hot-day weather effect on CVD-related deaths, with the larger impact occurring on the coldest days [3]. In contrast, the association between weather and CVD-related morbidity is less clear [4, 5]. The purpose of this study ...
