HsCRP Concentrations (mg/L) in Middle-aged and Oldest-old Groups

	n	Geometric mean	Median (IQR)	Ln (hsCRP) (mean±SD)
Middle-aged group	268	1.08	0.99 (0.52–1.98)	1.89 (0.33)*
Male	146	1.13	1.08 (0.55–1.83)	1.89 (0.31)?
Female	122	1.03	0.92 (0.45–2.07)	1.90 (0.35)?
Oldest-old group	506	1.96	1.76 (0.68–4.52)	2.12 (0.54)*
Male	107	2.52	2.33 (0.94–5.14)	2.20 (0.58)?
Female	399	1.84	1.55 (0.65–4.16)	2.10 (0.52)?

Note. SD, standard deviation.

^*P value<0.0001, was calculated by comparing ln (hsCRP) between the middle-aged group and the oldest-old group, after adjustment for study site and gender.

^?P value=0.7202, was calculated by comparing ln (hsCRP) between males and females in the middle-aged group, after adjustment for study site.

^?P value=0.0869, was calculated by comparing ln (hsCRP) between males and females in the oldest-old group, after adjustment for study site.
