On the other hand, the correlation between the biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) with well-known cardiovascular risk factors, including systolic blood pressure (SBP), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), uric acid and serum lipids, along with the presence of metabolic diseases and their influence in cardiovascular mortality, has been reported in some studies [7,8,9,10,11,12]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is metabolic disease.
