CRP and hypertensive disorder: In women, age (OR:1.16, CI:1.130-1.183, and OR:1.08, CI:1.065-1.103), BMI (OR:1.22, CI:1.171-1.268, OR:1.16, CI:1.124-1.207), HbA1c (OR:1.91, CI:1.60-2.29 and OR:1.75, CI:1.47-2.09), and serum Cr (OR:4.61, CI:1.72-12.34, and OR:3.23, CI:1.22-8.55) were significant predictors of both HTN and non-HTN Mets classes respectively, while serum CRP level only significantly predicted the HTN class (OR:1.03, CI:1.004-1.067).
