  1. Crude model: univariate model.
  2. aAdjusted for age, BMI and gender.
  3. bAdjusted for age, BMI, gender and CRP.
  4. cAdjusted for age, BMI, gender and disease duration.
  5. dAdjusted for age, BMI, gender, disease duration, CRP, ESR, SJC and TJC.
  6. p < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
