Six-year change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mortality

Conclusions Large increases or sustained elevations in hs-CRP over a six-year period were associated with a subsequent increased risk of diabetes; and persons with sustained elevations in hs-CRP were at the highest risk of CVD and mortality. Two measurements of hs-CRP are better than one for characterizing risk and large increases are particularly prognostic.
