We hypothesized that plasma BCAAs are positively associated with CVD risk and evaluated whether this was dependent on an intermediate diagnosis of T2D.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants in the Women\u2019s Health Study prospective cohort were eligible if free of CVD at baseline blood collection (n=27 041).

Adjusting for age, body mass index, and other established CVD risk factors, total BCAAs were positively associated with CVD (per SD: HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.08\u20131.18), comparable to LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) with CVD (per SD: HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.07\u20131.17). BCAAs were associated with coronary events (myocardial infarction: HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.06\u20131.26; revascularization: HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.11\u20131.25), and borderline significant association with stroke (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.99\u20131.15).

Adjusting for LDL-C, an established CVD risk factor, did not attenuate these findings; however, adjusting for HbA1c and insulin resistance eliminated the associations of BCAAs with CVD.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Circulating plasma BCAAs were positively associated with incident CVD in women.
