CRP and diabetes mellitus: Also, sRAGE was significantly associated with age in the control group (B = −47.1, R2 = 0.081 and p = 0.033, controlling for MG-H1), in girls with diabetes (B = −61.6, R2 = 0.154 and p = 0.001, controlling for CRP) and in control girls (B = −99.1, R2 = 0.154 and p = 0.001, no confounding variables).
