The P-values for age (0.017), diastolic blood pressure (0.016), uric acid (0.008), blood potassium level (0.012), h-CRP (0.001), fasting blood glucose (< 0.001), dyslipidemia (0.014), and HDL (0.001) were statistically significant, indicating that there were significant differences in these characteristics between the tertiles. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and metabolic syndrome.
