Research Abstract	Findings on the relationship of plasma asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) to atherosclerosis have been scarce. And the finding about relationship to the future incidence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) has been lack. We attempted to evaluate the association in a 7-year follow-up of population-based samples in Japan. Higher level of ADMA was independently associated with the future incidence of CAC in Japanese men. ADMA may be a new important predictor for progression of atherosclerosis.
