CRP and cardiovascular disorder: In risk stratification of cardiovascular disease, the groups of low risk (< 1.0 mg/L), average risk (1.0 to 3.0 mg/L), and high risk (> 3.0 mg/L) approximately correspond to tertiles of CRP in the general adult population, which were derived from more than 40,000 persons in more than 15 populations [24].
