Means* of C reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A protein (SAA), and fibrinogen by education and income level†
| Income level | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Education | Low | Middle | High | |
| *Geometric means of CRP and SAA, and arithmetic means of fibrinogen, adjusted for age, smoking, waist to hip ratio, and prevalent longstanding diseases. | ||||
| †Interactions between education and income level: CRP, p=0.912; SAA, p=0.268, and fibrinogen, p=0.198. | ||||
| CRP (mg/l) | Low/middle | 2.33 | 1.92 | 1.83 |
| High | 1.90 | 1.69 | 1.48 | |
| SAA (μg/l) | Low/middle | 5.77 | 5.25 | 4.42 |
| High | 5.25 | 4.39 | 4.70 | |
| Fibrinogen (g/l) | Low/middle | 4.06 | 3.80 | 3.77 |
