Regressions performed with IL-6 and CRP on logarithmic scale – results presented in exponential means P-value by the Wald’s test for heterogeneity.

Adjusted for skin color, schooling, asset index, smoking status, harmful alcohol use, physical activity (minutes per week) and medical diagnosis of asthma, diabetes and hypertension.
