Likewise, the multivariable HRs for risk of incident T2DM among hypertensive men and women with the highest CRP tertile, compared with normotensive men and women with the lowest CRP tertile, was 1.76 (0.95–3.28) in men (p for trend = 0.0439, p for interaction = 0.0572), and 4.58 (2.25–9.15) in women (p for trend <0.0001, p for interaction <0.0001). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
