Column Cohorts gives all cohorts participating in the multi-ethnic meta-analysis in alphabetical order. N is the number of informative samples for this analysis. EA combines all European ancestries, AA combines all African Ancestries and SAA combines all South Asian ancestries. Age is given in years plus standard deviation. Sex is given as percent female in every cohort. CRP is the median of measured serum CRP levels in each cohort. BMI is body mass index. Smoking status given in percent as never smokers / former smokers / current smokers.
