CRP and diabetes mellitus: CRP was significantly predicted by female gender (B = 0.29, p < .001), having a college degree (B = −0.24, p < .05) or education beyond college (B = −0.36, p < .01), neuroticism (B = −0.25, p < .01), history of diabetes (B = 0.34, p < .05), alcohol consumption (B = −0.06, p < .05), antihypertensive use (B = 0.30, p < .01), antidepressive use (B = 0.28, p < .05), and exercise (B = −0.21, p < .05).
