Material and methods: This case-control study included 80 male subjects divided into 2 groups: 40 subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) without coronary artery disease and 40 control subjects without diabetes. To assess the association of OCN and OPG with subclinical atherosclerosis (defined as carotid intima-media thick - ness (cIMT) ≥ 0.9mm), multivariable linear regression models were applied. Results: The mean age in the diabetes group was 54.1 ± ± 5.1 years while in the control group, it was 53.7 ± ± 6.6 years. The mean serum OCN level was signifi - cantly negatively correlated with hs-CRP, cIMT, HbA1c and FPG in the total sample (p = 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001 and 0.006 respectively) while OPG level was significantly positively correlated with age and HbA1c (p = 0.047 and 0.009 respectively) in the total sample. Age and HbA1c were the only independent risk factors identifying subclinical atherosclerosis in multivariate analysis. A cut-off value of serum OCN level of ≤ 22 ng/mL was able to discriminate patients with subclinical atherosclerosis in the total sample (p = 0.003 * ) using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Serum OCN level was significantly lower in the subclini - cal atherosclerosis group than in the control while OPG showed no significant difference between both groups. Conclusions: OCN may be a better marker for subclinical atherosclerosis than OPG. This effect is attenuated in the presence of DM.

Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, the data were collected from the registration phase of Neyshabur Longitudinal Study on Ageing (NeLSA) comprising a total of 6034 people aged 50 and older. Association between hsCRP and MetS and its components was conducted by univariate and multivariate analyses in the presence of covariates and confounding factors. Results: Baseline data including age, body fat mass, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, fasting plasma glucose, triglyceride, creatinine, albumin, and hsCRP also systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were higher in the MetS group compared to the control group (p < 0.001 for all variables other than hsCRP, which was not significant (p = 0.06)). Also the univariate and multi variate analysis illustrated one-unit increase in the serum level of hsCRP was associated with 18% higher risk for diabetes [OR: 1.18; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06–1.30] and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) by 15% (OR:1.15; (95% CI, 1.01–1.29). In subjects with MetS, one-unit (log of 1 mg/L) increase in the serum level of hsCRP was associated with 34% higher risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) (OR: 1.34; 95% CI, 1.11–1.63).
