Association between systemic inflammation biomarkers and incident cardiovascular disease in 423,701 individuals: evidence from the UK biobank cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The associations between systemic inflammation biomarkers and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain not well explored. This study aimed to investigate associations between different systemic inflammation biomarkers and incident CVD and main CVD subtypes - ischaemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, and heart failure - explore dose-response relationships, and compare their predictive performance.

Methods

This prospective cohort study included 423,701 UK Biobank participants free of CVD at baseline. Baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and system inflammation response index (SIRI) were derived. Cox-proportional regression models were used to investiga
