Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Many studies demonstrated that hyperglycemia is not only increased inflammatory response, but also is a cause of atherosclerosis, implying that glucose metabolic status may be an important stratification factor when analyzing the relationship between inflammatory levels and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study is to assess the relationship between inflammatory levels and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis, stratified by different glucose metabolic status in a general population.
