algorithm. A 5-year prospective follow-up for new CVD events, type II diabetes and medication for hypertension and hyperlipidemia was completed in all the patients. The event-free survival curves were built and the Mantel-Cox analysis was performed with respect to serum IGF1, where IGF1 levels below or equal to the median 139 ng/ml were considered low. Results: Low IGF1 was clinically significant. These patients were recognized by high prevalence of hypertension (26% vs. 7.9%, p=0.001), overweight (19% vs 6.8%, p=0.016) and hypercholesterolemia (71% vs 48%, p=0.0025), which resulted in a higher eCVR in these RA patients (7.2% and 3.3%, p<0.001). When adjusted by age, low IGF1 group had higher serum IL6 (pg/ml: 2.
