摘要：Long follow up is needed in prospective cohort study evaluation of plasma biomarkers for incident peripheral arterial disease (PAD) Middle-aged PAD-free individuals from the cardiovascular cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer study (n = 5550; 1991–94) were followed prospectively for a median time of 23.4 years. The plasma biomarkers lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity and mass, proneurotensin, and CRP, were studied in relation to incidence of PAD until December 31st, 2016. The diagnosis of PAD could be validated and confirmed in 98%. Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) per 1 standard deviation increment of each respective log transformed plasma biomarker. Cumulative incidence of PAD was 4.4% (men 5.9%, women 3.3%). Adjusting for age, gender, smoking, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, Lp-PLA2 activity (HR 1.33; 95% CI 1.17–1.52), Lp-PLA2 mass (HR 1.20; 95% CI 1.05–1.37) and CRP (HR 1.55; 95% CI 1.36–1.76) remained independently associated with incident PAD. The plasma biomarkers Lp-PLA2 activity and mass, and CRP were markers of PAD risk, implying that they might be useful biomarkers for subclinical atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic disease.
