We evaluated prevalence and correlates of elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) in a large population of blacks and whites, and the impact of CRP measurement on coronary heart disease (CHD) risk reclassification. We studied 19,080 participants of the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study; age over 45, without vascular diagnoses, and living dispersed across the United States. 8,309 nondiabetic participants not using lipid-lowering medications were classified into four risk categories of Framingham Vascular Disease Risk Score. If CRP was <1 mg/L, participants were reclassified to the next lower risk group and if >3 mg/L, they were reclassified to the next higher risk group. Reclassification of risk by the Reynolds Vascular Risk Score, incorporating CRP and family history, was also assessed. Overall, 40% had CRP >3 mg/L. Those at highest risk for elevated CRP were blacks, women and obese people. Among nondiabetic women at 5–20% Framingham Vascular predicted risk, CRP reclassified 48% to a higher risk group and 19% to a lower risk group. For men, these percentages were 24% and 40%. Blacks were more often reclassified to a higher risk group than whites. The Reynolds Vascular Risk Score reclassified 85% of women and 67% of men, almost exclusively to a lower risk group than the Framingham Vascular Score. In this national study, a majority, especially blacks and women, were reclassified to a different 10-year vascular risk level using CRP testing after risk assessment. The Reynolds Risk Score classified the population differently than the new Framingham Vascular Score with CRP testing.
