Means (95%CI) presented above are age adjusted and for logCRP are expressed as geometric means.
“f” and “m” represent female and male specific values respectively.
“Beta” represents linear regression (95%CI) derived beta coefficient expressed as a ratio of geometric means for the association between logCRP and decile of BMI.
Beta’ indicates adjustment for sex, age, age-squared, age–sex interaction, log(height), smoking, drinking, education and income.
