Abstract
⺠Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. ⺠Easy-to-measure, low-cost inflammatory markers are needed for CVD risk assessment. ⺠WBCC, but not CRP, was independently associated with carotid and femoral IMT and plaque. ⺠The association was similar in normolipidemic and dyslipidemic individuals. ⺠The association was stronger for increased atherosclerotic burden.
