Investigators then measured waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and C-reactive protein concentrations to determine heart health.

研究人员还分别测量了他们的腰围、血压、胆固醇水平以及反应蛋白浓度，通过对于这些数据的分析来确定受测者的健康水平。

In addition to measuring blood levels of inflammation-linked molecules such as C-reactive protein, the researchers also measured the length of sections of the women's DNA called telomeres.

除了测量像C -活性蛋白的与炎症有关的分子的血液水平外，研究人员还测量了女性的DNA上一部分叫做端粒的区域的长度。

One marker for inflammation in the blood is called C-reactive protein.

血液中这些炎症的来源中，有一种叫做C反应蛋白。

The new study confirmed a link, but did not find evidence that the C-reactive protein causes the disease.

A separate study found no support for a theory that a biomarker called C-reactive protein causes heart disease.

VOA: special.2009.07.15

C-reactive protein is an indication of inflammation in the body, and,at high levels, is considered an early sign of future heart disease.

Docs already routinely test for one inflammation-producing protein, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.

C-reactive protein was first discovered in the 1930s as a protein the body made in response to a sugar (the C polysaccharide) made by bacteria.

In turn, that can cut C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation, by up to 40%.
