Mexican/other Hispanic: Mexican or other Hispanic ethnicity; Other race/multi: other race or Multiracial; CRP: C-reactive protein; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; FPR: federal poverty ratio

Reduced Model: controlling for age, sex, race, socioeconomic status (poverty-income ratio), smoking status, physical activity, and fasting insulin

Two-part regression model used; reference group is the reference group used for each categorical variable

Each level of categorical variable used to provide a predicted CRP based on the model
