OR = risk ratio; CI = confidence interval; Elevated CRP indicated by CRP levels > 3.0 mg/L. For elevated CRP, Model 1 OR unadjusted; Model 2 adjusted for age, BMI, and income. For CHD mortality, Model 1 OR unadjusted; Model 2 adjusted for elevated CRP; Model 3 adjusted for elevated CRP, age, gender, and Framingham risk category.
