Abstract:The CRP-to-albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio has emerged as a novel biomarker for various in ammatory diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the CRP/Alb ratio and incident metabolic syndrome (MetS) with a large-sample, community-based Korean cohort over a 12-year follow-up period.
Materials and MethodsAmong 10,030 participants, a total of 6,205 participants aged 40 to 69 years without MetS were selected from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). The baseline CRP/Alb ratio was divided … Show more
