Spearman’s partial correlation coefficient between C-reactive protein and metabolic syndrome components across ethnicity (adjusted for age and gender) Anuurad E, et al. Am J Cardiol 2009;103:523-7

scores (C) in subjects with CRP levels <3 or ≥3.0 mg/L Ethnicity-specific frequency of MS (A), frequency of CAD (B) insubjects with CRP levels <3 or ≥3.0 mg/L, and cardiovascular composite scores (C) in subjects with CRP levels <3 or ≥3.0 mg/L Proportions were compared between groups using chi-square analysis, p values were calculated using general linear measurement multivariate analyses for CRP groups after adjustment for gender, post hoc analyses were performed using Bonferroni’s test for 2 independent samples, and values for ardiovascular composite score were logarithmically transformed before analyses. The nontransformed values are shown in the graphs. Anuurad E, et al. Am J Cardiol 2009;103:523-7

Cardiovascular composite score in European Americans (A) and African Americans (B) according to CRP levels <3 or ≥3.0 mg/L and according to the presence or absence of the MS. The p values were calculated using general linear measurement multivariate analyses for CRP groups and MS groups after adjustment for gender, post hoc analyses were performed using Bonferroni’s test for 2 independent samples, and values for cardiovascular composite score were logarithmically transformed before analyses. The nontransformed values are shown in the graphs. Anuurad E, et al. Am J Cardiol 2009;103:523-7
