Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adipokines such as Adiponectin, Retinol Binding Protein 4(RBP4), Leptin, Visfatin and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) on the incidence risk of lifestyle related diseases in a longitudinal cohort study. Based on the incidences of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypo-HDL cholesterolemia, hyper LDL cholesterolemia and hyper-total cholesterolemia and the serial change in those related laboratory results, Adiponectin and Hs-CRP were shown to be the significant potential marker for future health status.
