CRP and coronary atherosclerosis measurement: ABI also correlated significantly negatively with CRP (p = 0.017), WC (p = 0.031), total cholesterol (p = 0.003), and LDL cholesterol (p = 0.003), whereas the percentage of carotid artery stenosis related significantly positively to smoking habit (p = 0.017) and CRP (p = 0.042).
