Comparison of serum C reactive protein in middle-aged smoker and non-smokers males
Abstract
The objective of present study was to compare serum C Reactive Protein (CRP) between smoker and none-smoker men. For this purpose, venous blood samples were collected after a overnight fast in order to measuring serum CRP in eighteen middle-aged non-trained males and eighteen none-smoker males matched for age (42.8 ± 8.3 years of old) and BMI (30.63 ± 3.3 kg/m2) participated in this study by accidentally samples. Independent sample T-test was used to compare the serum levels of CRP between two groups. Serum level of CRP was significantly higher in smoker group when compared with non-smoker subjects (median 2131 ± 211 Vs 1670 ± 313 ng/dl; P value = 0.021). Based on this data, we can point to the presence of systemic inflammation in smokers that is also associated with airway inflammation in these subjects probably.
