CRP and metabolic syndrome: In the stratified model by dyslipidemia status, increased hs-CRP was significantly related to a higher risk of stroke [HR (95%CI): 1.34 (1.03–1.74), P = 0.030], and CVD [HR (95%CI): 1.42 (1.14–1.79), P = 0.002] among subjects with normal lipid levels, not among subjects with dyslipidemia (P > 0.05) (Table 2).
