Abstract
- Objectives: Examine associations of favorable levels of all cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (RFs) [i.e., low risk (LR)] at younger ages with high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) at older ages. Methods: There were 1324 participants ages 65–84 years with hs-CRP ≤ 10 mg/L from the Chicago Healthy Aging Study (2007–2010), and CVD RFs assessed at baseline (1967–73) and 39 years later. LR was defined as untreated blood pressure (BP) ≤120/≤80 mm Hg, untreated serum total cholesterol
