Patients with apparently nonfunctioning adrenal incidentalomas may be at increased cardiovascular risk due to excessive cortisol secretion.

Context: Although adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) are associated with a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors, it is not clear whether patients with nonfunctioning AI (NFAI) have increased CVR.

Objective: Our objective was to investigate CVR in patients with NFAI.

Design And Setting: This case-control study was performed in a tertiary general hospital.
