Higher CRP serum levels were found in participants who reported one or more chronic disease, in particular hypertension (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.15;2.17), had a BMI value greater than 30 (OR 2.12, 95%CI 1.60;2.81), and achieved low scores in the physical domain of the SF12 (OR 1.68, 95%CI 1.28;2.21). Here, CRP is linked to hypertensive disorder.
