Relationship between truncal fat and lower body fat with CRP levels

	Women		Men		P interaction
	β coefficient	P value	β coefficient	P value
Truncal fat
Model 1	0.092	<0.0001	0.065	<0.0001	0.0003
Model 2	0.074	<0.0001	0.049	0.0008	0.0006
Model 3	0.049	0.002	0.025	0.1	0.002
Lower body fat
Model 1	0.101	<0.0001	0.102	<0.0001	0.97
Model 2	−0.069	<0.0001	−0.097	<0.001	0.02
Model 3	−0.046	0.001	−0.076	<0.001	0.02

Model 1 is adjusted for race and age; model 2 for race, age, and total fat mass; and model 3 for race, total fat mass, age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes, low HDL-C, elevated triglycerides, HOMA-IR, and statin use. β coefficient represents change in log CRP levels for 1 kg change in fat parameter.
