Salivary CRP levels (M, SE) for American Heart Association (AHA) risk categories for developing cardiovascular diseases, based on serum CRP.

Note. CRP < 1 mg/L = low risk; CRP 1–3 mg/L = average risk; CRP 3–10 mg/L = high risk (Pearson et al., 2003). The fourth category, CRP > 10 mg/L, may indicate acute inflammation and was based on the Framingham Study (Dhingra et al., 2007).
