Both continuous CRP (using natural logs, OR presented in table is the exponential of the estimated coefficient) and HDL remained significantly associated with AMD in the final model using baseline measurements, with 1 SD increase in log transformed CRP (equating to approximately 3 fold increase in CRP) increasing odds of AMD by 11%, and 0.5 mmol/L increase in HDL increasing odds of AMD by 15%. Here, CRP is linked to age-related macular degeneration.
