Adjusted mean CRP and IL-6 (95% confidence interval) by consumption of <30% vs. ≥30% of total energy (kcal) after 5PM, SISTAS Study, South Carolina, 2011–2015.

Inflammatory Markers	Consumed <30% kcal after 5PM	Consumed ≥30% kcal after 5PM	P-value
Inflammatory Markers	Consumed <30% kcal after 5PM	Consumed ≥30% kcal after 5PM	<30% vs. ≥30%
n	68	181
CRP (mg/L)^a	8.16 (6.76–9.57)	7.22 (6.33–8.10)	0.26
IL-6 (pg/mL)^b	2.46 (2.05–2.86)	2.76 (2.51–3.01)	0.20

Abbreviations used: CRP, C-reactive protein; IL-6, interleukin-6; kcal, kilocalories; mg/L, milligrams per liter; pg/mL, picograms per milliliter

Adjusted for body mass index and age.

Adjusted for aspiring use, age, body mass index, and diastolic blood pressure.

P-values were estimated using multivariable linear regression with calculation of least squares means.
