IL-6 >1.53 pg/ml	2.1 (1.2–3.6)	0.006	1.4 (0.81–2.6)	0.213
Fasting glucose >6.2 mmol/l	2.0 (1.2–3.4)	0.012	1.8 (1.0–3.3)	0.041
IL-18 >277 pg/ml	1.9 (1.1–3.3)	0.015	1.6 (0.90–2.8)	0.109
Smoking (yes/no)	1.9 (1.1–3.1)	0.018	2.4 (1.4–4.2)	0.003
Previous CVD	1.5 (0.88–2.6)	0.138
Cholesterol >6.3 mmol/l	1.4 (0.82–2.3)	0.238

Total population (n = 563). Age, metabolic syndrome, triglycerides, BMI, statin use, ACE inhibitors, and n-3 PUFA intervention were excluded from the model (P > 0.25). Cutoffs are as described in Statistics.
