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—Inflammation plays an important role in cardiovascular disease. The aim of
this study is to investigate the predictive value of several inflammatory markers on the …

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

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 …

This study investigates the association of several inflammatory markers with subclinical and
clinical cardiovascular disease in older men and women. Data are from the baseline …

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 …

PURPOSE: To investigate whether interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein levels predict all-
cause and cause-specific mortality in a population-based sample of nondisabled 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 …

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 …
