Nonlinear associations between computed tomography‐measures of adiposity and long pentraxin‐3 in the Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Abstract Objective Long pentraxin‐3 (PTX‐3) is an acute phase protein associated with cardiovascular disease, lung injury, and mortality. We evaluated the association between computed tomography (CT)‐measurements of adipose tissue and plasma levels of PTX‐3. Methods We performed a cross‐sectional an...
