CRP and steatosis: On the contrary, in patients with higher visceral fat and a lower liver-to-spleen ratio (patients with steatosis), the effect of the CRP interval on body composition changes was generally stronger than in the whole study population (for example, in patients in the highest VAT tertile, the linear regression coefficient of 1 SD increase in the CRP interval for pectoral muscle area ∆T1-T0 was −1.48, 95%CI −2.43;−0.52, p = 0.003).
