CRP and metabolic syndrome: More variables and with higher ORs for the association with SLD were identified in women: category 1 (body mass index (BMI) ≥29 kg/m2, age <51 years, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) ≥0.195 mg/dL): OR=10.9, 95%CI: 4.40-26.6; category 2 (BMI <9 kg/m2, metabolic syndrome (MS), age ≥50 years, neck circumference (NC) ≥36 cm): OR=8.1, 95%CI: 2.2-29.9; and category 3 (BMI ≥29 kg/m2, age <51 y-old, dyslipidemia, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) <42 mg/dL): OR=4.7, 95%CI: 2.20-10.7.
