Combined impact of elevated C-reactive protein levels and dyslipidemia on stroke: a CHNS prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of this study was to examine whether the combination of elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and dyslipidemia increased the risk of stroke among middle-aged and older adult individuals in China.

Methods
