Phi Coefficients Among High Risk Levels of Markers of Inflammation

(a) Ages 65+ in the NHANES 1999–2002 (N=1,884)
	CRP	Fibrinogen	Albumin
CRP		0.33***	0.11***
Fibrinogen			0.09***
Albumin

(b) Ages 70–79 in the MacArthur Study of Successful Aging (N=654)
	CRP	IL-6	Fibrinogen	Albumin
CRP		0.37***	0.33***	0.06
IL-6			0.19***	−0.01
