Implication
hs-CRP stability matches cholesterol for risk stratification; supports reliability but leaves open outcome impact in cohorts.
Structured PICO

P
Population
113 healthy adults
I
Intervention
Five measurements each of hs-CRP and total cholesterol carried out at quarterly intervals over a 1-year period
O
Outcome
Variations of hs-CRP and total cholesterol, and classification accuracysurrogate
hs-CRP demonstrates measurement stability comparable to total cholesterol, supporting its reliability for cardiovascular risk assessment.
