CRP and diabetes mellitus: Furthermore, compared with nondiabetic participants, those with diabetes were significantly older (58.9 versus 51.0 years, P < 0.0001) and had higher levels of adipometric variables (all P ≤ 0.014), systolic blood pressure (P < 0.0001), triglycerides (P < 0.0001), GGT, and CRP (both P < 0.0001), whilst eGFR (P = 0.029) and HDL cholesterol (P = 0.0002) were significantly lower.
