Associations of ideal cardiovascular health with GlycA, a novel inflammatory marker: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Background Unhealthy lifestyles and inflammation contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD). GlycA is a novel biomarker of systemic inflammation representing post‐translational glycosylation of acute phase reactants and associated with increased clinical CVD risk. Hypothesis We hypothesized that ideal cardiovascular health (CVH), as assessed by (higher) Life's Simple 7 (LS7) scores, would be associated with lower GlycA levels among individuals...
