Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 887HGR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Retinal microvascular caliber is a risk marker for cardiovascular disease. The authors examined the relation between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and retinal microvascular caliber in a multiethnic Asian population (n=3,583) of Chinese, Malays, and Indians aged 24-95 years residing in Singapore (2003-2007). Retinal arteriolar and venular diameters were measured and summarized as central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE) and central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE), respectively. Persons with higher levels of hsCRP had wider CRVE (Ptrend |
