Does the cumulative burden of blood pressure, glucose, LDL-C, and CRP correlate with cardiovascular risk?
The study highlights the correlation between the cumulative burden of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular risk, emphasizing the need for long-term observation to understand life-course effects.
We demonstrated the correlation between cumulative burden of CVRFs and cardiovascular risk, except for cumulative burden of hs-CRP and ischaemic stroke. Thus, our study suggests the necessity to extend the observation duration of CVRFs in order to elucidate the life-course cumulative effect.
