C-Reactive Protein and 5-Year Survival in Type 2 Diabetes: The Casale Monferrato Study

C-Reactive Protein and 5-Year Survival in Type 2 Diabetes

OBJECTIVE To determine to what extent plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) values influence 5-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetic individuals, independently of albumin excretion rate (AER) and other cardiovascular risk factors, and its incremental usefulness for predicting individual risk of mortality. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Measurements of CRP were performed in 2,3...

Progression to overt nephropathy in type 2 diabetes: the Casale Monferrato Study.

OBJECTIVE The first sign of diabetic nephropathy is microalbuminuria, but its predictive role of progression to overt nephropathy in type 2 diabetes has not yet been clarified. The aims of this study were to assess during 7 years of follow-up the incidence rate of overt nephropathy and the predictive role of microalbuminuria and other baseline variables (blood pressure, lipids, fibrinogen, uric...

Metabolic syndrome as a predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetes: the Casale Monferrato Study.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess in an 11-year survival follow-up of a population-based cohort of type 2 diabetes the predictive role of World Health Organization-defined metabolic syndrome, independent of conventional cardiovascular risk factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS During the follow-up (1991-2001), 1,565 patients were regularly examined with centralized measurements of ...

The Relationship Between Food Insecurity, C-Reactive Protein and Some Socio-Economic Variables in Type 2 Diabetes

Background Food insecurity can contribute to health and nutrition problems. Thus, determining its associated factors seems necessary in all societies. Objective The current this study determined the food insecurity, C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and some socio-economic factors in type 2 diabetic patients in Minoodar and Shohada comprehensive health centers of Qazvin in 2016. Methods This case-cont...
