In participants with diabetes with CRP concentrations ≤10 mg/L, higher CRP Z-score concentration was not significantly associated with PAD or nephropathy: PAD (AOR 1.05; 95% CI 0.75 to 1.47, p=0.785) and nephropathy (AOR 1.69; 95% CI 0.77 to 3.71, p=0.189). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is peripheral arterial disease.
