Multivariate linear regression analysis with Ln hs-CRP as dependent variable

	Outcome Ln hs-CRP
	Coefficient	95% CI	P-value
Daily life activity level	−0.167	−0.311 to −0.023	0.023
BMI	0.047	0.011–0.082	0.010
Ln hs-TnT	0.513	0.306–0.721	<0.001

Notes: Cholesterol, cigarette smoking, diabetes, sex, age, left ventricular ejection fraction, estimated glomerular filtration rate, waist circumference, waist–hip ratio, and CAD50/CAD70 were tested in the model but excluded because P-value>0.1.

Abbreviations: Ln, natural logarithm; hs, high-sensitivity; CRP, C-reactive protein; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; TnT, troponin T.
