To examine the relationship between elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels and the future risk of developing diabetes.
Conducted a population-based 7-year prospective cohort study in Norwegian adults aged 30 and older from the Tromsø Study (2007–2016).
Evaluated baseline hs-CRP measurements alongside incidence of diabetes while adjusting for potential confounding factors including hypertension and obesity.
Raised hs-CRP was significantly associated with future diabetes development in the adult cohort.
The observed association between hs-CRP and diabetes incidence was not fully explained by obesity or hypertension.

Implication

Cohort study reveals elevated hs-CRP predicts diabetes in older adults, suggesting an inflammatory risk independent of obesity or hypertension.

Abstract

Raised hs-CRP was associated with future diabetes development in a Norwegian adult population sample. The CRP-diabetes association could not be fully explained by obesity or hypertension.
