High sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate the association between hs-CRP and the risk factors of MetS in elderly women with abdominal obesity. The diagnosis of MetS followed the AHA/NHLBI criteria, and abdominal obesity was defined using the WHO Asian-Pacific criteria. We used the data from 174 elderly women, with an average age of 74 years. They were classified into two groups: The absent group (N=97) and the MetS group (N=77). Hs-CRP was significantly higher in the MetS group (p=0.007). Hs-CRP had a positive correlation with abdominal obesity (r=0.190, p=0.014) and fasting blood glucose (r=0.240, p=0.002), while having a negative correlation with HDL cholesterol (r=?0.164, p=0.035). Moreover, hs-CRP was higher in the group with risk of high fasting blood glucose (p=0.006) and low HDL-cholesterol (p=0.010), even in elderly women with abdominal obesity.
