Discussion

Implication

These associations suggest distinct vascular pathways in asymptomatic adults; hypothesis-generating and leaves open predictive utility for events.

Structured PICO

Population

175 clinically healthy asymptomatic subjects, aged 40-70 years.

Outcome

Relationship between age, inflammatory (CRP) and oxidative stress-related markers (OxLDL, Hcy) with functional (AIx) and structural (IMT) changes of the arteriessurrogate

In asymptomatic individuals, CRP and younger age are related to arterial stiffness (AIx), whereas OxLDL and older age are determinants of structural arterial changes (IMT).
