Distribution of C-reactive Protein among US Adults from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2009-2010

The cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among US adult population. In addition, disparities in CVD morbidity and mortality exist as CVD risk factors differ by gender and ethnicity. According to the American Heart Association in 2014, among blacks, 46.0% males and 47.7 % females had CVD and number of deaths 49,210 in males and 48,573 in females. Recently, C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of chronic inflammation emerges as an independent predictor of CVD.
