High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components. Several studies have suggested hsCRP to be used as a marker for the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. So, we aimed to evaluate the association between hsCRP levels and the components of MetS in diabetic and non-diabetic population.
