Moreover, CRP levels had a significant positive relationship with higher grade of BP and hypertension in all models (model 3 of group 1, P = 0.003; others, P<0.001) and with hypertensive TOD only in models 1 and 2 (model 1, P = 0.048; model 2, P = 0.0135). Here, CRP is linked to hypertensive disorder.
