CRP and stroke disorder: After adjusting for all covariates, the combination of low wealth and elevated CRP was an independent predictor of incident diabetes/high blood glucose (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 2.14; 95% Confidence Interval (C.I.)= 1.49–3.07), CHD (HR = 2.48, 95% C.I. = 1.63–3.76), stroke (HR = 1.55; 95% C.I. = 1.18–2.04), relative to high wealth/low CRP.
