Elevated White Blood Cell Counts Despite Normal C-Reactive Protein Independently Predict Metabolic Syndrome and Myocardial Infarction: Evidence for Genetic Susceptibility and Dietary Modification in a Prospective Cohort

Background/Objectives: Elevated white blood cell (WBC) counts and C-reactive protein (CRP) are established inflammatory markers associated with cardiometabolic disease. However, whether elevated WBC remains prognostically important without CRP elevation is unclear. This study aim...
