Correlation between serum levels of ultrasensitive CRP and cardiovascular risk factors in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Abstract
Introduction: The population of Latin America is undergoing an epidemiological transition process in recent decades, acquiring urban-industrial lifestyles, which are associated with an increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
Materials and Methods: This is an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study to measure the degree of compensation that exists between traditional cardiovascular risk factors and US CRP levels in a population of type 2 diabetic patients.
Results: A moderate significant positive correlation was found between US CRP levels and glycated hemoglobin values (r. 0.55, p 0.01), a weak correlation with body mass index (r. 0.27, p 0.05) and abdominal circumference of women (r. 0.37, p 0.01) and men (r. 0.25, p 0.05). A very weak significant positive assessment was obtained between US CRP and time of diagnosis (r. 0.19, p 0.05), fibrinogen (r. 0.18, p 0.01), blood pressure levels (r. 0 ,17, p 0.05). A very weak, non-significant negative assessment was found with female gender (r. -0.153, p 0.057) and smoking (r. 0.11, p 0.16). No assessment was found between US CRP and age, arterial hypertension, lipid profile and Framingham score.
Conclusion: A statistically significant positive measurement was observed between US CRP levels and glycated hemoglobin, Body Mass Index, abdominal circumference, fibrinogen levels, blood pressure and time of diagnosis in patients with type 2 diabetes.
