Abstract
Objective
Whether the combination of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) was an independent risk factor for metabolic unhealthy is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association between combining hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 and metabolic unhealthy.
Methods
A total of 3198 participants who underwent routine health check-up examinations. The participants completed inflammation indicators (hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2) examination and physical assessments. Four phenotypes were determined according to obesity and metabolic health status. Meanwhile, the participants were divided into four groups according to the level of hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2. The cross-sectional association between hs-CRP, Lp-PLA2 and metabolic unhealthy was tested by logistic regression analysis.
Results
About 30.48%, 17.35%, 17.32% and 34.83% had MHNO, MUNO, MHO, and MUO, respectively. The combination of the hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 levels was significantly correlated with metabolic unhealthy in non-obese subjects. However, in obese subjects, only hs-CRP level was significantly correlated with metabolic unhealthy.
Conclusion
The hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 together were significantly associated with metabolic unhealthy in non-obese subjects. hs-CRP level was significantly correlated with metabolic unhealthy in obese subjects.
