Previous research links inflammatory biomarkers, such as high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP), to AAA. Few studies, however, have used a prospective design. The aim of this study was to examine whether individuals with elevated hs-CRP have increased risk of AAA, using a prospective and population based design.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This prospective, population based, cohort study included 46 322 participants in the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) in Norway (53.7% female). During a median follow up of 12.6 years (range 0 – 26 years), 407 individuals were diagnosed with AAA (22.4% female). Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to examine associations between hs-CRP and risk of AAA. hs-CRP was treated either as a continuous or a categorical variable (dichotomised at 2 mg/L, 1 mg/L, or median [1.2 mg/L], or as quartiles).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The hazard ratio (HR) of developing AAA per 1 mg/L increase in hs-CRP (continuous hs-CRP) was 1.02 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01 – 1.03) in the analysis adjusted for smoking, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, body mass index, and total cholesterol. Individuals with hs-CRP ≥ 2 mg/L had almost twice the risk of AAA compared with individuals with hs-CRP < 2 mg/L (adjusted HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.51 – 2.25).

The adjusted HR gradually increased through the ordered hs-CRP quartiles, and was almost four times higher (HR 3.87, 95% CI 2.54 – 5.92) in the highest hs-CRP quartile (hs-CRP > 2.7 mg/L) compared with the lowest quartile (hs-CRP <span><math><mrow><mo>≤</mo></mrow></math></span> 0.6 mg/L).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Individuals with elevated hs-CRP had significantly increased risk of developing AAA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55160,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery","volume":"69 5","pages":"Pages 733-741"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142973397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
