Why the study?
Are circulating levels of IL-6 and CRP associated with traditional cardiovascular risk factors in women?
Are circulating levels of IL-6 and CRP associated with traditional cardiovascular risk factors in women?
Circulating inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6 and CRP) correlate with traditional cardiovascular risk factors in women.
Hypothesis-generating for inflammatory pathways in female CV risk; prospective cohorts needed to assess causality and utility.
Plasma levels of IL-6 and CRP are independently related to several clinical cardiovascular risk factors in women.
