CRP and Insulin resistance: However, being underweight (PR: 0.86; CI: 0.77-0.95; P = 0.002; Table 6); overweight (PR: 0.88; CI: 0.78-0.99; P = 0.03; Table 6) or having high level of CRP (PR: 0.88; CI: 0.79-0.99; P = 0.03; Table 6), rather decreased the prevalence of insulin resistance compared with their counterparts with normal levels of these parameters in this group.
