As a general marker for inflammation and infection, elevated CRP level is related with an increased risk of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease [8,13,14] Our result showed that a stronger positive relationship was found between hsCRP and TG2 (r = 0.374, p < 0.01) than between hsCRP level and TG0 (r = 0.315, p < 0.01), which suggests that high postprandial TG may be more important for high hsCRP levels than fasting TG. Here, CRP is linked to cardiovascular disorder.
