Abstract： Objective To investigate the distribution and influential factors of serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein （hs-CRP）in part of ethnic minorities living in plateau. Methods In survey during the period of 2008 to 2010,a total of 312 hospitalized ethnic minority patients(males 152,females106) received examination of hs-CRP.They were divided into healthy and sick groups to compare their hs-CRP levels between different age and gender. Results The concentrations of hs-CRP increased with age in both males and females （P＜0.05）. Serum hs-CRP was higher in females≥50y than in males（P＜0.05）. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that concentrations of hs-CRP were positively associated with gender, age, systolic blood pressure ,body mass index, total cholesterol ,triglycerides, fasting blood glucose,history of coronary heart disease, and stroke history ,but concentrations of hs-CRP were inversely related with diastolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions Serum concentrations of hs-CRP level in part of ethnic minorities living in plateau increase with age; concentrations of hs-CRP are higher in females≥50y than in males;a variety of cardiovascular factors affect the concentrations of hs-CRP.
