Associations with CRP concentrations in the Ghanaian study sample.

Results are from linear regression models. Per cent change in expected geometric mean CRP (mg/L) per unit increase in the independent variable is equivalent to the absolute value of (1-eβ)*100. Significant values are indicated by 95% confidence intervals that do not include 0.
The fully adjusted linear regression model included all listed independent variables (malaria load was not included in the analyses of malaria infection and vice versa).
†The poorest half of the population vs. the wealthiest half of the population as estimated by the DHS wealth index.
‡Unsafe water source (open well or river) vs. safe water source (borehole);
*Infection positivity determined by PCR.
**Load was determined by number of PCR cycles and evaluated in quartiles with the lowest quartile as reference level.
