C-Reactive Protein, the Metabolic Syndrome, and Prediction of Cardiovascular Events in the Framingham Offspring Study
TL;DR: Elevated CRP levels are related to insulin resistance and the presence of the MetS, especially in women, and although discrimination of subjects at risk of CVD events using both MetS and CRP is not better than using either phenotype alone, both CRP and MetS are independent predictors of new CVD Events.
