From: Systemic inflammation in midlife is associated with late-life functional limitations
Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (OR) for the association between elevated hs-CRP levels and impaired activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental ADLs (IADLs), and lower-extremity function (LEF) compared with low hs-CRP levels. Model 1: adjusted by age, sex, race, education (< high school, high school, or > high school), annual household income (< 16 000, 16 000 to 35 000, > 35 000), and physical activity defined by MET-hour/week. Model 2: adjusted by model 1 plus, prevalent of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, triglycerides, cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory medication use.
