Abstract

BACKGROUNDHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has been widely accepted as a predictor of future cardiovascular risk that reflects a microinflammatory state. Obesity linked to microinflammation increases the prevalence of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to determine the association between several obesity indices namely body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage (fat), and visceral fat (VF) with hsCRP in non-diabetic adults. METHODSThis was a cross-sectional study performed on 80 non-diabetic adults with ages ranging from 20-40 years. The obesity indices BMI, WC, body fat percentage, and VF were measured. We then measured the hsCRP levels using an immunoturbidimetric method. Simple and multiple linear regression tests were used to analyze the association between obesity indices and hsCRP levels. RESULTSMean of log BMI, log WC, and log VF was 1.41 ± 0.08 kg/m2, 1.93 ± 0.06 cm, and 0.95 ± 0.27 units, respectively. Simple linear regression tests showed that log BMI (â=3.506; p<0.001), log WC (â=3.672; p<0.001), log VF (â=0.833; p<0.001), and log systolic blood pressure (â=3.739; p=0.024) had a significant positive correlation with log hsCRP levels. Further multiple linear regression test showed that log BMI (â=3.772; Beta=0.674; p<0.001) had the greater effect on log hsCRP levels compared to other indices. CONCLUSIONS    BMI had a greater influence on hsCRP levels compared to other obesity indices in non-diabetic adults. Body mass index can be used as a better index in predicting hsCRP levels compared to other indices.

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONBlood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels are routine laboratory tests for evaluating renal function. Renal dysfunction has been related to worse prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between admission blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels with in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction patients. METHODSA cross-sectional study was performed using secondary data of 80 acute myocardial infarction patients hospitalized in Intensive Cardiac Care Unit of dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar, from June 2010 to July 2011. Admission blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were analyzed with Mann Whitney and Chi-Square tests.RESULTSMortality risk in the patients with blood urea nitrogen levels >50 mg/dL was 3.58 higher compared with those with blood urea nitrogen levels <50 mg/dL [OR=3.58; 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.27-10.11, p=0.013]. Mean admission creatinine levels in surviving and non- surviving patients were 0.99 ± 0.30 mg/dL and 1.70 ± 1.99 mg/dL, respectively (p=0.043). Mortality risk in patients with creatinine levels >1.1 mg/dL was 3.0-fold higher compared to patients with creatinine levels <1.1 mg/dL [OR=3.00; 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.13-7.92, p=0.024]. Multiple logistic regression showed blood urea nitrogen to be a better predictor of mortality than creatinine (OR= 3.583, p=0.016 vs OR 1.844, p=0.317).CONCLUSIONSPatients with high levels of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine had higher mortality risks than patients with normal levels. Blood urea nitrogen was a better predictor of mortality than creatinine.
