From: Systemic inflammation in midlife is associated with late-life functional limitations
Adjusted probability of impaired (A) activities of daily living (ADLs), (B) instrumental ADLs (IADLs), and (C) lower-extremity function (LEF) based on longitudinal pattern of changes in hs-CRP levels. Model was 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), physical activity defined by MET-hour/week, 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. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 compared to the consistent low hs-CRP group.
