The odds of prevalent PAD were higher in men with the highest quartile (Q4) levels of interleukin-6 multivariable (MV) adjusted (odds ratio (OR) =3.95 (95% CI, 1.4–11.3), tumor necrosis factor alpha OR = 4.44 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.5–12.8), and C-reactive protein OR = 3.63 (95% CI, 1.4–9.4) compared to men in Q1. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and peripheral arterial disease.
