Elevated Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 Independently Affects Age-Related Increases in Systolic Blood Pressure: A Nested Case-Control Study in a Prospective Korean Cohort

<div>Relationships of the changes in (Δ) Lp-PLA2 activity with Δ systolic BP, Δ LDL-cholesterol, and Δ 8-epi-PGF2α in control (normal BP at both baseline and follow-up, solid line) and hypertension (normal BP at baseline but development of hypertension during follow-up, broken line) groups. (a) Correlation between Δ Lp-PLA2 activity and Δ systolic BP. (b) Correlation between Δ LDL-cholesterol and Δ Lp-PLA2 activity. (c) Correlation between Δ Lp-PLA2 activity and Δ 8-epi-PGF2α.</div>
