CRP C-reactive protein, EPIC-Norfolk European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfolk, SD standard deviation
-
aMean difference in HbA1c (%) in each category of CRP and the reference category (CRP ≤ 1 mg/l). Multivariable cross-sectional analyses are adjusted for baseline covariates: age, sex, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, physical activity, alcohol intake, medical history of cancer, myocardial infarction, and stroke, corticosteroid medication, and in women only menopausal status and hormone replacement therapy
-
bAnnual change calculated as an interaction of baseline CRP categories with time in participants who had at least one follow-up health examination. Adjusted for baseline age and sex. Multivariable analyses are additionally adjusted for body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, physical activity, alcohol intake, medical history of cancer, myocardial infarction, and stroke, corticosteroid medication, and in women only menopausal status and hormone replacement therapy, all treated as time varying variables. Analysis is restricted to individuals who had at least two measurements of HbA1c
-
cValues are change in HbA1c over 13 years
