Association between fasting glucose and C‐reactive protein in middle‐aged subjects

Abstract: Fasting glucose is significantly and positively associated with plasma CRP in middle-aged subjects. CRP levels increase continuously across the spectrum of fasting glucose, beginning in the lowest quartile of normal fasting glucose. This finding suggests that a proinflammatory effect may contribute to the adverse cardiovascular outcome associated with diabetes, impaired fasting glucose, and increasing glucose levels within the normal range.

“…A number of factors have consistently been associated with hs-CRP [21,22]. We collected data on body mass index (BMI), smoking, infection status, physical activity, total energy, total cholesterol, age, and gender and included these variables in analyses.…”

“…An association of CRP to the development of atheroscleroticdisease has been observed in experimental and epidemiological studies (Ridker et al 2000, Libby et al 2002. Recent studies have shown that elevation of CRP concentrations is an independent predictive parameter of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM; Festa et al 2002, Freeman et al 2002, which is also strongly associated with various components of the metabolic syndrome (Frohlich et al 2000, Aronson et al 2004. A number of studies reported that serum highly sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) is negatively correlated with insulin sensitivity index (SI) and serum adiponectin in some subjects (Ouchi et al 2003, Schulze et al 2004, Yuan et al 2006.…”

“…In favor with this finding, Aronson D et al (2004) reported that diagnosed diabetes with impaired fasting glucose has the highest hs-CRP compared to subjects with normal fasting glucose. The authors concluded that hs-CRP levels increased continuously from the lowest quartile of normal fasting glucose level to impaired fasting glucose (P = 0.002 for trend within the nondiabetic range of fasting glucose) and to diabetes.…”
