Association between coexisting hypertension, dyslipidaemia and elevated C reactive protein with cardiovascular disease and mortality: a cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis in a representative cohort of older US adults

Co-occurrence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and elevated CRP was strongly associated with increased CVD prevalence, higher incident CVD, and elevated 4-year mortality in older US adults, emphasizing the importance of multifactor screening for CVD risk.
