Adipokines and severity and progression of coronary artery calcium: Findings from the Rancho Bernardo Study

Adipokines are known to predict cardiovascular events, yet their association with coronary artery calcium (CAC), a surrogate marker of coronary atherosclerosis and risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), is unclear. We aimed at assessing the association between adipokines and the severity and progression of CAC in healthy older adults, and at exploring potential modification by gender.409 men and women from the Rancho Bernardo Study with...
