Pulse pressure (mmHg)	n = 415	n = 562		n = 572	n = 400		n = 896	n = 92		n = 858	n = 130
	54.7 ± 14.4	55.1 ± 14.8	0.627	52.5 ± 13.8	58.7 ± 15.2	< 0.001	54.2 ± 14.3	62.3 ± 16.3	< 0.001	54.9 ± 14.7	56 ± 14.5	0.395

Values are mean ± SD. Case numbers vary by outcome based on exclusion criteria of WBC counts for lnCRP. p-Values are based on independent samples t-test.
