Patients with a CAR ≥ 0.5 were older (p < 0.001), were more frequently Caucasian (p = 0.005), had more frequently cardiovascular disease (p < 0.001) and cancer (p < 0.001), had lower hemoglobin (p < 0.001), lower PTH (p = 0.036), and higher ferritin levels (p = 0.007). This evidence concerns the gene PTH and cancer.
