PURPOSE: Ways to predict the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events or all-cause mortality have
largely been derived from populations in which old and very old subjects were …

Associations of C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen with death may weaken over time.
Combining both markers may improve prediction of death in older adults. In 5,828 …

In the past decade inflammatory markers have emerged as strong independent risk
indicators for cardiovascular disease. Even though adults over the age of 65 experience a …

Background. Associations of inflammation with age-related pathologies are documented;
however, it is not understood how changes in inflammation over time impact healthy aging …

Aims To compare the predictive value of inflammatory biomarkers and lipids for vascular and
non-vascular mortality in older men. Methods and results The relevance of inflammatory …

Although both inflammatory and atherosclerosis markers have been associated with
coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, data directly comparing their predictive value are limited …

We hypothesized that the rising levels of inflammatory markers with aging is explained by
cardiovascular risk factors and morbidity becoming progressively more prevalent in older …

Background. Individual measurements of inflammation have been utilized to assess adverse
outcomes risk in older adults with varying degrees of success. This study was designed to …

Background. White blood cell (WBC) count is, like C-reactive protein (CRP), a clinical marker
of inflammation and predicts cardiovascular disease and mortality in middle-aged …

OBJECTIVES: To describe changes in interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and C‐reactive protein (CRP)
and to determine how changes are related to mortality in elderly people. DESIGN …
