CRP and diabetes mellitus: Results: Multivariate regression revealed an increased WMR (p < 0.001, OR (95%CI) 2.258 (1.460–3.492)), but also advanced age (p < 0.001, OR (95%CI) 1.050 (1.040–1.061)), increased CRP (p < 0.001, OR (95%CI) 1.010 (1.007–1.014)), and diabetes (p < 0.001, OR (95%CI) 2.386 (1.933–2.946)) as independent predictors for CLTI.
