- Background: Intra-individual changes in haemostatic factor concentrations over time are unknown, in the general population.Objective: To describe intra-individual longitudinal changes in tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tPA/PAI-1 complex, von Willebrand factor (VWF), and C-reactive protein (CRP) over nine years, in different age groups, stratified for sex.Methods: The MONICA survey in 1990 examined randomly selected men and women in four age groups (25–64 years) who were re-examined in 1999. A total of 309 individuals donated venous blood samples in Stabilyte tubes for both surveys during the morning hours, after an overnight fast. We analysed tPA activity and antigens of tPA, PAI-1, tPA/PAI-1 complex, VWF, and CRP.Results: Over nine years, in both men and women, we found significant intra-individual increases in the antigen levels of tPA, PAI-1, tPA/PAI-1 complex, VWF, and CRP (P < 0.001). PAI-1 antigen levels increased by 75% for men and 95% for women. Compared to men, women had a significantly higher CRP increase (0.92 vs. 0.22 mg/L; P = 0.044). The P for trend for mean Δ1999–1990 across age groups showed a significant linear trend for VWF (P = 0.001 for men; P < 0.001 for women), but not for the other studied variables.Conclusions: There were intra-individual longitudinal increases in the antigen levels of tPA, PAI-1, tPA/PAI-1 complex, VWF, and CRP over nine years in both men and women, with PAI-1 showing the highest relative increase. VWF increased significantly across age groups; however, fibrinolytic variables did not.

Individual PAI-1 increase over nine years relates differently in men and women to changes in anthropometric, glycaemic, inflammatory and lipid markers.

- Background: Levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is known to correlate to factors related to the metabolic syndrome. We have previously shown that PAI-1 antigen increased by 75% in men and 95% in women over nine years.Objective: The aim of this study was to explore relationships between intra-individual changes in PAI-1 and changes in anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, glycaemic, lipid and inflammatory markers, separately for men and women.Method: In northern Sweden, 125 men and 116 women were examined first in 1990 and re-examined in 1999 during the morning hours. Changes over time (Δ) were calculated as the value at 1999 minus the value at 1990.Results: In men, ΔPAI-1 was significantly correlated to ΔBMI (r =0.33), ΔCRP (r =0.25), Δtriglycerides (r =0.39), Δfasting plasma glucose (r =0.41) and Δ2-hour plasma glucose (r =0.29). In women, ΔPAI-1 was significantly correlated to ΔBMI (r =0.36), Δwaist circumference (r =0.38), Δhip circumference (r =0.27), ΔCRP (r =0.27) and Δtotal cholesterol (r =0.19). The multivariate linear regression analysis showed that ΔPAI-1 was significantly related to Δfasting plasma glucose and ΔCRP in men (R2 for the complete model was 0.31). In women, ΔPAI-1 was significantly related to Δwaist circumference (R2 for the complete model was 0.17).Conclusion: We expected that changes in anthropometric, glycaemic, inflammatory and lipid markers would explain a large part of the observed PAI-1 increase. However, the multivariate analysis explained only 20% of the variation in ΔPAI-1 in women and 30% in men. Interestingly, the patterns of components correlating with the changes in PAI-1 differed between sexes.
