Are higher baseline hsCRP levels and increasing hsCRP trajectories associated with the incidence of metabolic syndrome?
Monitoring long-term hsCRP trajectories may help identify individuals at high risk for developing metabolic syndrome.
This study suggests that participants with higher baseline hsCRP levels and increasing hsCRP trajectories are associated with a progression toward MetS. Long-term hsCRP trajectories may serve as useful tools for identifying individuals at higher risk of MetS who could benefit from targeted preventive and therapeutic interventions.
Pan et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
