Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and pulse transit time (PPT). Apparently healthy 233 subjects had been enrolled in the health promotion center of the Pusan National University Hospital from Jan. 29 to Feb. 26, 2004. They had no previous history of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Subjects were categorized according to tertiles of hsCRP level [Group 1: first tertile $(0.01\;{\sim}\;0.02\;mg/dl)$, Group 2: second tertile $(0.03\;{\sim}\;0.05\;mg/dl)$, Group 3: third tertile $(0.06\;{\sim}\;0.12\;mg/dl)$, and Group 4: Fourth tertile $(0.13\;{\sim}\;16.8\;mg/dl)$]. PTT body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (T-C), LDL-cholesterol(LDL-C), blood sugar (BS), systolic blood pressure (sBP) and diastolic blood pressure (dBP) were significantly different among hsCRP groups (p<0.05). HsCRP is positively related with BMI, tryglyceride (TG), LDL, sBP and dBP (p<0.05), and negatively related with PTT and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) (p<0.05). PTT is significantly negatively related with hsCRP, T-C, TG, LDL-C, BS, dBP and sBP (p<0.05). The hsCRP and PTT were related before controlling BMI, T-C, LDL-C, sBP, and dBP, but not related after conkolling. The relationship between hsCRP and PTT depends on cardiovascular disease risk factors.

동맥경화정도를 반영하는 hsCRP (high sensitive C-reactive protein)와 경화 정도에 의한 혈류속도의 변화를 반영하는 맥파전달시간 (pulse transit time, PTT)와의 임상적 연관에 대해서는 잘 연구되어 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 hsCRP와 PTT의 연관에 미치는 영향 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 2004년 1월 29일에서 3월 2일까지 부산의 한 대학병원 건강증진센터의 수진자중에 당뇨와 고혈압 고지혈증 경력이 없는 20세 이상의 성인 233명을 대상으로 PTT을 측정하고, hsCRP와 관련 변수에 대한 검사를 실시하여 관련성을 분석했다. 연구군은 hsCRP값에 따라 4분위군으로 나누었다. 각 군의 중앙값과 범위를 보면 1분위군은 0.02 mg/이 (0.01 ${\sim}$0.02), 2분위군은 0.04 mg/이 (0.03 ${\sim}$ 0.05), 3분위군은 0.08 mg/이 (0.06 ${\sim}$ 0.12), 4분위군은 0.24 mg/이 (0.13 ${\sim}$ 16.8)이었다. 각 군에 따른 PTT와 체질량지수, 혈중지질, 혈당, 혈압의 차이를 일원분석을 할 결과 HDL 콜레스테롤을 제외한 모든 변수가 유의한 차이를 나타내었다 (p<0.05). 상관분석에서 hsCRP는 체질량지수, 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 저밀도콜레스테롤, 수축기와 이완기혈압에 양의 상관관계가 있었고 (p<0.05), PTT와 저밀도콜레스테롤과는 음의 상관관계가 있었다 (p<0.05). PTT는 hsCRP, 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 저밀도콜레스테롤, 공복혈당, 이완기혈압, 수축기혈압과 음의 상관관계가 있었으며 (p<0.05), 고밀도 콜레스테롤과는 상관관계가 없었다. 독립변수를 hsCRP군으로 하고, 반응변수를 PTT로 한 일반선형모델의 단변량 분석결과 hsCRP군에 따라 PTT가 유의한 차이가 있었고 (p<0.05), 연령과 성별을 통제한 후에도 유의한 차이가 있었다 (p<0.05). 연령과 성별 외 체질량지수, 총콜레스테롤, 저밀도콜레스테롤, 수축기혈압, 이완기혈압을 함께 통제한 후에는 유의한 차이가 없었다.
