Multivariable-Adjusted Odds Ratio for C-Reactive Protein Elevations Above 10 mg/L.†

Abbreviations; K, 1,000: BMI, body-mass index: OR, odds ratio: CI, confidence intervals: EU, exercise units:*, **, *** denotes significance at 5%, 1%, 0.1% level, respectively.†Multinomial logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratio, which is the ratio of odds of having either one-time or repeated CRP elevation (>10 mg/L) relative to the odds of having no CRP elevation (reference group). All predictors were measured at the initial CRP evaluation visit.‡BMI is centered at the overall sample mean (26.7).§There is no observation with history of cancer and repeated CRP elevation.||Male*BMI denotes the interaction between male gender and BMI; male*BMI-squared is the interaction between male gender and the square of BMI.
