Association between baseline and changes in high-sensitive C-reactive protein and metabolic syndrome: a nationwide cohort study and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to prospectively evaluate the associations between the baseline and changes in high-density C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and incident metabolic syndrome (MetS) in China and update the evidence based on a meta-analysis of cohort studies in different populations.

Methods

Data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study among adults aged 45 years or older were analyzed. Participants who were recruited in the study in 2011-2012 without MetS and successfully followed up to 2015-2016 were included in our final analysis. Logistic regressions were applied to examine the prospective associations of baseline and changes in hs-CRP with incident MetS and estimate corresponding odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). A meta-analysis was co
