Latent class trajectory modeling was utilized to identify distinct hsCRP trajectory patterns. Multivariable regression and proportional hazards analyses were employed to evaluate the predictive value of hsCRP trajectories for the development of MetS.Results: During the 1.63-year follow-up period, 1,308 participants developed metabolic syndrome (MetS). Individuals with high hsCRP levels exhibited a significantly increased risk of developing MetS compared to those with low hsCRP levels (HR = 1.062, 95% CI 1.103– 1.113). The hsCRP trajectory analysis identified three distinct groups: low-stable, increasing, and decreasing. The decreasing and increasing hsCRP trajectory groups demonstrated a 1.408-fold (95% CI 1.115– 1.779) and a 1.618-fold (95% CI 1.288– 2.033) increased risk of MetS, respectively.Conclusion: This study suggests that participants with higher baseline hsCRP levels and increasing hsCRP trajectories are associated with a progression toward MetS. Long-term hsCRP trajectories may serve as useful tools for identifying individuals at higher risk of MetS who could benefit from targeted preventive and therapeutic interventions.Keywords: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, metabolic syndrome, trajectory analysis, retrospective cohort study, risk prediction
