ContextSeveral novel risk factors for atherosclerosis have recently been proposed, but few
comparative data exist to guide clinical use of these emerging biomarkers. ObjectiveTo
compare the predictive value of 11 lipid and nonlipid biomarkers as risk factors for
development of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Design, Setting, and
ParticipantsNested case-control study using plasma samples collected at baseline from a
prospective cohort of 14 916 initially healthy US male physicians aged 40 to 84 years, of …
