High-sensitive C-reactive protein and Insulin Resistance in Elderly Hypertension Patients / 中华高血压杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between high-sensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP)and insulin resistance(IR)in elderly hypertension patients.Methods The levels of ambulatory blood pressure mo- nitoring(ABPM),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FINS),von Willebrand factor(vWF),hsCRP were measured in elderly patients with hypertension alone(n=260),hypertension coexit with diabetes(n=230), and healthy matched subjects(n=250).Results The levels of FINS,FPG,vWF,hsCRP,systolic blood pres- sure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP)in the HT and HT+DM group were significantly higher than that in the NC group(P
