Gender *Smoking status	0.751 (0.386)
Gender *Systolic blood pressure	0.050 (0.823)
Gender *Triglycerides	0.845 (0.358)
Gender *Immuno-reactive insulin	0.056 (0.814)

hsCRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; HMW, high molecular weight. Data for hsCRP, triglycerides, fasting plasma glucose, immuno-reactive insulin, and HMW adiponectin were skewed and log-transformed for analysis.
