Examining the link between adiponectin levels and heart and brain diseases in Chinese individuals

Official title: Serum Adiponectin Concentration, Activity and Isoforms in Chinese Population and Its Correlation to Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases

Run by Xijing Hospital · NCT01372800 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study looks at whether levels of a protein called adiponectin can help predict the risk of heart and brain diseases in Chinese individuals over five years.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are Chinese individuals who can commit to a five-year follow-up and do not have conditions that would interfere with the study.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have conditions unrelated to cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, or those who are pregnant or have severe renal or hepatic dysfunction, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the concentration, activity, and isoforms of serum adiponectin in a Chinese population over a five-year follow-up period. It aims to establish correlations between adiponectin levels and the incidence of myocardial and cerebral infarctions. The study focuses on understanding how adiponectin, a protein with anti-inflammatory and vascular protective properties, may serve as a novel risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Participants will be monitored for changes in their health related to these conditions throughout the study duration.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into adiponectin as a potential biomarker for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, leading to improved risk assessment and management strategies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have indicated a correlation between adiponectin levels and cardiovascular diseases, suggesting that this approach has been explored with some success.
