Biomarkers are patient and consumer characteristics that are measured and evaluated. Risk factors are variables that predict outcomes and are composed of biomarkers and social and environmental factors. The of a risk factor depends on the degree to which it can predict an event. Lastly, there are endpoints which include biomarkers, alone or in combination with clinical events. Below are the biomarkers to be collected in this project. Biomarkers Description Associated health outcome Body Mass Index Indicator of the balance between energy Cardiovascular disease, intake and energy expenditure diabetes mellitus, stroke, mortality, osteoarthritis, and some forms of Cancer. Fasting Glucose Measures the amount of sugar in blood; Diabetes, CHD, poor indicator of diabetes cognitive functioning, and mortality Diastolic Blood Pressure Index of cardiovascular activity; lowest Cardiovascular disease, pressure in an artery when the heart is stroke, Coronary Heart resting Disease, mortality Systolic Pressure Index of cardiovascular activity, maximum Coronary Heart Disease, pressure in an artery when the heart is stroke, CVD, mortality pumping blood throughout the body High Density Lipoprotein Protective cholesterol risk of arthrosclerosis CVD Low Density Lipoprotein Transports cholesterol from the liver to be arthrosclerosis, stroke, incorporated into cell membrane tissues peripheral vascular disease, CHD Cholesterol Aids in the synthesis of bile and In middle ages individuals steroid hormones CHD and all-cause mortality are present. In older age, U shaped relation to death. Triglycerides Fat substance stored for energy use Heart attack, CHD, coronary artery disease, pancreatitis Resting pulse Indicator of functioning and measure CHD, mortality of overall fitness Single lead EKG Measurement of electrical impulses in the Cardiovascular risk, stroke, heart mortality Po2 Measure of blood oxygenation Risk factor of cardiopulmonary and pulmonary disease Forced expiratory pressure Measure of lung capacity Risk factor of pulmonary disease/conditions Cystatin C Measure of GFR Decreased function, kidney failure Urinalysis Measure of metabolism, tubular and Alteration I renal function, glomerular function and metabolic alteration,
