  1. CRP, C-reactive protein. *Data were presented as median (interquartilerange). Data were presented as adjusted geometric means (95% CI, unless noted otherwise). Model 1, adjusted for age, sex and BMI. Model 2, adjusted for Model 1, current smoking status, current alcohol drinking status, family history of diabetes, and hypertension. Model 3, adjusted for Model 2 and plasma calcium.
